In case you own a New Beetle and you don’t know, there really is a New Beetle Sunshine Tour. At least in Germany there is. For its neighboring countries too. In America though… Anyway, in order to celebrate the moment as the last New Beetle rolled off its plant last June, New Beetle owners from Europe got together last July to make the event more special. New Beetle owners, together with the Cabriolet and customized owners of VW parts showed up and made this occasion truly “one for the road”. It was held in Germany, in Lubeck, with a flower-power party to close, graced by the band New Beetles.

The most interesting part about this, is that this gathering of the VW parts loyalists was made possible by another owner. Take note, not Volkswagen, as this was not their gimmick or whatever. It was a private initiative by Gabriele Kraft back in 2004, and it has been a very colorful and successful event ever since. When will this kind of happiness ever reach the Statue of Liberty? Why not spread some sunshine to the land of milk and honey people? Start your own Sunshine Tour, because after all, “This meeting is not just about beautiful cars, but about the people that love the New Beetle,” Kraft said in an interview.
