Dutch Dubbers Keep VW Legacy and Fun Alive At America On Wheels

Allentown, PA - Woody Allen was sure they would run forever, and members of one local Volkswagon fan club are intent on making that happen, so please join them on Saturday, May 9 for the Dutch Dubbers Cruise-In at America On Wheels (AOW) in Allentown.

The Dutch Dubbers, who describe themselves as "just a bunch of VW nuts who like to hang out with other people and talk about their cars," is open to anyone who owns a Volkswagon - it doesn't have to be a classic Beetle - or those who just enjoy talking about the iconic Bug.

"This is a really fun group with a really bright, fun and easy-going outlook on life and Volkswagons," said AOW Executive Director Linda Merkel. "There will be some really great cars in all shapes and conditions here on Saturday, so stop on over and relive some happy memories of another era in personal transportation."

The Dutch Dubbers is only one of a series of fun and exciting events on tap at AOW this month. See below for a complete calendar and go to www.americaonwheels.org for more details.
