Classic VW BuGs Two guys from Billings drove a 1957 Volkswagen ‘Bug’ to Pike’s Peak and back

Remember this story I mentioned back in May of 2017?  See HERE!

Well the Billings Boys are back and they did their trip to Pikes Peak and Back.  These fellas contacted me at the very start of their journey, they were grateful for my videos to help restore their bug to take their trip.

HERE IS THEIR LATEST STORY:

Dave Kucera and Sam Schaumann with Schaumann’s 1957 Volkswagen Beetle on his farm near Billings. The two best friends took a road trip from Billings to Colorado and back in the 61-year-old car in Sept. 2017.  In 1967, they took the same trip upon graduating high school — in the same car.
