Folklife Collection - Folkgroup: Volkswagen Owners
by Salisbury University Students (1993)
1 folder (0.1 linear feet)
In a series of interviews of local Eastern Shore residents in 1993, Salisbury University students and teachers collected folk life material. For his final paper, Brian Starnes chose to study pre-1978 Volkswagen (VW) owners as a folk group. His paper includes a brief summary of the history of Volkswagen and describes the different types of cars it produced during its early years. In the second part of the paper, the student portrays a typical VW owner and talks about the different VW clubs and organizations. To supplement his research, he also interviewed several VW owners and clipped a few pages of VW specialized magazines that display the earlier models of the make. Tape enclosed.
