A different kind of "BUG"
Volkswagen brought back the iconic Beetle design in the late 1990s. FM issued a model of that car as the "Millenium Edition" in Galaxy Blue
2000 Volkswagen "New" Beetle Coupe

I have all the beetles that FM did. I thought VW did a great job in resurrecting the Beetle.

Nice pics! But out of my collecting criteria. And as a real car, I've no interest at all. This aside, I enjoy your "Model Does" postings John.

FM did a great job on these New Beetles. The color makes you happy! GREAT pics John!

Looks great John. My neighbor lady had one in yellow, I used to detail it for her every year.

Love your pics John. What impressed me was the amount of detail and working features this model has. My guess is that George B had a hand in the development of this model.
The front seats also slide forward and back. These Beetles are very reasonable on eBay.

Yes, they do have some amazing detail - I also have the Vapor Blue version too, wish I'd gotten the red and white too.
