Marc Buehler's '51 Cal-Look
The sixth annual North Olympic Volksfair VW car show was held, for the first time, at Fort Worden in Port Townsend August 24, 25, and 26, 2012. It was a three-day event and included speakers, a special showing of “The Bus”, and a Saturday evening cruise.
We were very pleased to welcome Winnie Meyers, wife of Bruce Meyers. Bruce Meyers is the creator of the Meyers Manx dune buggy and one of the founding fathers of off-road racing. He was unable to attend due to health reasons, but Winnie graciously agreed to speak in his place. Bruce filmed a presentation especially for our show and Winnie gave a question/discussion session following the video.

Marc Buehler, one of the founders of the “California-Look” cars, displayed his ’51 Cal-Look Split-window and participated in our speaker’s program.
We also showed pre-release screenings of “The Bus”, a documentary by Damon Ristau about the history of the VW Bus in the U.S.
A cruise was held Saturday evening. At least twelve VW’s cruised through Port Townsend to Port Hadlock, then on to Egg & I Road and back to Fort Worden. We had a small group of on-lookers cheering us at the beginning of the cruise. That was fun!
