I just learned that Lindbergh had a VW Bug!


The American aviator Charles Lindbergh, acquired a Beetle Deluxe in Paris in 1959. The vehicle was well used by the pilot, an avid traveller, who in those years drove with it through numerous countries, including France, Turkey, Egypt and Kenya. In 1970 Lindbergh, who died in 1972, drove his Volkswagen to his childhood home in Little Falls, Minnesota, where the car has been conserved and can be seen as part of the Charles A. Lindbergh Historic Site.

From the publishing house Naono in Barcelona, who made a book about the VW company vehicles, Coccinelle 1303 Cabriolet and a special section on the ones owned by celebrities, for a book company in France http://www.altaya.fr/    http://www.naono.es/
