I even liked riding in the VW bug back there. Times were somewhat different, though. Nobody paid much heed to safety, there were seatbelts in fighter jets and race cars only, etc. With seatbelt laws in many states, I don't think you can just throw kids into the back very conveniently. 'Course Tennessee still is livin' in the '50's ain't it? I sure loved it as a kid, though (we had a '51 Beetle and a '53 Bus, and this was in '55-'60). I played with the "jail bars" a lot, and thought that the rear corner windows were really neato. I don't think our bus had a rear hatch to come open accidently, either. malcolm
