On My Travels: Volkswagen 1500 Notchback in Berlin Germany

Written by Ken Altes

Caught this sparkling Volkswagen Notchback Type 3 Sedan in Berlin recently. Lovely car, great color and condition. More familiar with the Squareback wagon, but these were available from 1961 to 1965. Type 1 is the Beetle and Type 2 is the van.Volkswagen 1500 Notchback Type 3 Sedan in Berlin GermanyVolkswagen 1500 Notchback Type 3 Sedan Berlin GermanyVolkswagen 1500 Notchback Type 3 Sedan Berlin Germany rear view

On My Travels: Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 in Paris, France

Written by Ken Altes

Older cars are banned from the city center during work days but on the weekend they invade the city. I was not really prepared and was unable to be in position to photograph most of the interesting cars that zoomed by me. It was kind of comical, as I would give up waiting for one to appear, then one would sneak by. It happened a bunch of times but I was, at least, able to get a long shot of this dream car.  Ferrari made 800 of these sleek, v12 powered Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 (Grand Tourismo) cars between 1968 and 1971. (Note the line of cannon behind the car, at the front of the Hôtel des Invalides.)
