Elgin resident Matthew Callahan is so fond of his 1967 Volkswagen Beetle that he gave it a buddy-title. 

“I’ve had David for 30 decades. He’s almost additional a pet than a auto. David sat in a subject for 30 several years ahead of I rescued him,” claimed Callahan, as he stood subsequent to his sunroof-design Beetle during Bastrop’s 15th annual Heroes & Hotrods Veterans Weekend Auto Exhibit on Saturday.

Callahan explained his love of tinkering with Volkswagens led to his doing work for his dad in a Volkswagen mend shop after he attended significant university. Callahan said his ‘67 Beetle has a small far more meat in its engine than the common designs of the Sixties. 

“It’s a 1,641-cubic-centimeter motor with greater pistons and camshaft than most Beetles,” Callahan said.
