Different from what many think, the success of the Beetle was not immediate, as it only gained strength during a democratic parade made by Juscelino Kubitschek. On the occasion, he performed the entire act aboard a black Volkswagen Beetle. From there, success only grew! That way, until today he steals sighs when he is seen.
Because he is so famous, any appearance of the model already draws attention. In this way, a garage with several VW Beetles was the reason for a lot of buzz! The “secret garage” not only kept these cars, but also W Brasília, Rural Willys and Chevrolet Chevette, as well as bicycles, typewriters and sewing machines and even irons.
Where is the mysterious garage?
The shed is located in the city of Franca, in the interior of São Paulo. Despite looking abandoned, as everything was covered in a thick layer of dust, the place has a guardian. However, he preferred to have his image reserved, remaining anonymous. In fact, the owner of the property has recently died, leaving everything in the care of that person.
How was the garage discovered?
With the death of the owner, the children, who are the direct heirs, decided to put everything up for sale. Thus, when analyzing what was available, this garage was discovered with several valuable items, including the beloved Volkswagen Beetles.
How many cars were found?
The individual had more than 500 bicycles, all of which have already been sold to people from different regions of Brazil. However, there are still watches and cars left, which should be made available from the month of November. Regarding the cars, the collection includes more than one hundred vehicles, including a Ford Maverick and an old Jeep, but the vast majority are Volkswagen Beetles.
