AutoWeek Magazine ran an article with pics on the Monterey Concours D'Lemons. This is a contest for the worst of the worst, and the best of the worst.
The 8th picture (of 19) features a Pepto Bismol Pink VW Thing with a black top. It appears to be a 74, based solely upon the placement of the rear view mirror on the body (not much of the car is shown).

| Too bad the photographer was photographing people instead of the car. The top and paint (from what little I can see), look to be pretty nice. Great idea for a car show though. I think I'll steal the idea. |

I remember watching a segment of Chasing Classic Cars where Wayne Carini entered this. He went to a lot that rents trashed used cars - like a rent a wreck. He rented the worst car he could find, entered it and won.
Pretty funny. |

| We did have a nice pink Thing at Kubel Treffen 2013 in Dover. May be the one. |

I saw that episode. I found it funny, too.
I also saw a Jay Leno hosted show while on vacation at OBX (didn't catch its name), and a segment of that show was the Monterey Concours D'Lemons. Some of the cars he showed included a Yugo, an Edsel, a Pinto, a Vega, and a Pacer -- and all were in decent to very nice shape. I guess there must be a wide d'finition d'lemon. :wink: |
