Never let anyone tell you how much stuff you *cannot* fit into a VW. Here's proof. And note that my toddler's carseat was also in there at the same time!
Some of the things are for sale in my 2 Etsy vintage shops - menzocollection and milkglassandmetal. But most of them I've added to my personal collection of stuff. : ) Oh, and that *sale* sign you see is from my own yard sale that I held earlier the same day...needless to say, I ended up with a net gain of stuff.
First, the backseat...
Now, the front seat...
The passenger side view....
And, of course, the trunk...
As you can see, there's not much of a limit as to what I can fit into a car.
Finally, here are a bunch of chairs that I took home 2 at a time on the same day. The wooden ones later fell apart on me. The 1960s vinyl seats are now at our weekend home in my south Louisiana hometown. And the chippy white iron chairs are destined for our front porch in Houston. The *chippy* stuff is actually vinyl and not paint, so it all has to come off before I can use them.
And my husband doesn't know it yet, but the aluminum Christmas tree will adorn the front porch of our weekend home. He knows it's going to the house...he just doesn't know where I'm going to put it. We already have one I bought years ago for our Houston house. I love that thing!
LOL! Had to laugh as this is so typical of us vintage lovers! Hope you remember to take photos of the Aluminum Christmas tree! My Mom still has her aluminum tree and the rotating light too. I wish she would let me have it but she won't part with it! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely post photos of the tree on the porch! I still need to get it there, though.
ReplyDeleteWe had one when I was a kid, but we didn't have the color wheel. I didn't even know they came with color wheels b/c we had it a decade after no one had them anymore. LOL.
This one came with the genuine color wheel. I only had a reproduction color wheel before.

ReplyDeleteThe point about saving space and avoiding ongoing costs really stands out, especially since unused cars can deteriorate and even leak harmful fluids over time . It also shows why options like junk car removal are becoming more popular for quick and hassle-free disposal. Definitely a practical read for anyone dealing with an old vehicle.
ReplyDeleteI had a good laugh reading this because it’s amazing how much random stuff can end up packed into a car over the years. It really makes you realise how quickly clutter builds up before you even notice it. We recently cleaned out an old vehicle ourselves before sending it off through a cash for cars sydney nsw service, and honestly, half the things we found inside brought back memories we’d completely forgotten about. Great little read and very relatable for anyone who’s held onto an old car for too long.
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed this post — it’s amazing how quickly a car can turn into a rolling storage shed full of random bits and pieces we swear we’ll sort out later. Your story gave me a good laugh because plenty of Aussies can probably relate to having an old vehicle packed to the roof with forgotten junk. Sometimes clearing it all out and moving the car on through services like Cash For Cars Victoria is the easiest way to finally reclaim some space and start fresh.
