I went to Switzerland to find vintage Volkswagens, hidden somewhere in mine tunnels.
Here you can find Volkswagen Beetles 1300, 1302, 1303 and other variants, the famous Volkswagen Golf 1 and 2 with various variants, Volkswagen Polo, Volkswagen Passat and others.

Thanks, Bob! This brings back memories of my first car, a 1960 VW bug that was brought to the States from Germany by a US soldier. It didn't have a gas gauge. You drove til you ran out of gas. There was a pedal on the firewall that you turned with your foot giving you another gallon of gas to get to the gas station.

Honestly, with the right conditions, it can happen in a month (maybe sooner). I have a newer car that sat with a car cover for a month in a shady spot without sun. The climate where I live is pretty humid, and it only took one month for my entire interior to be covered in mold. I came to find I had a leak, and some water was resting inside the vehicle. The humidity and the stagnant water made a costly and time-consuming clean-up job.
