And was available MSRP for only $2499.00* -a “Sweetheart deal” as the VW ad put it, “Hurry, a love like this won’t last forever.”

Holiday Part at Guido's Pizza!!
2023-01-10 18:30 - 20:30 | Guido’s Pizza, 549 W International Airport Rd., Anchorage, Anchorage, 99518
This month we are having our Holiday Party THIS Tuesday 01/10/2023 Starting at 630PM! You can show up earlier if you would like, we will start off the night at about 645pm
We have a table up front reserved for us, and will be meeting at Guidos.
Last years’ party was a blast. We had well over 20 people who brought car related gifts, gadgets, and art relating to cars in general, or Volkswagen specific items/related gifts (try to keep it gifts around $30) for a “white elephant” style gift exchange.
If you or your family bring a gift, you’ll get to draw a number from a hat, and the crazy goes from there!
This is always a fun get together, we will start to discuss all that is to come for the next year and talk about opportunities to help out in order to keep this great little club truckin’ forward into 2023 and beyond!
Most importantly, we would like to invite you and the family for a great time with family, friends, and MAYBE even a Volkswagen or two in the parking lot.

THIS TUESDAY, Arctic Air Cooled VWS will be getting together @ Guido’s starting at 630PM for our planned monthly meeting.
Last month we talked about the idea of VOLKS WAGEN or a People’s car and we covered a lot of the initial beginnings covering the designer Ferdinand Porsche and how he ultimately got the job, this next meeting we are going to jump right into 1945 when Wolfsburg got its name and where Volkswagen would start to take a lean beginning but would start to form its role and function as the car manufacture we’ve come to love.
