⬆️ ‘God Bless America’ wood carving by Seward Johnson, based on Grant Wood’s American Gothic painting. On display in Saginaw, Michigan.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Both Passats were made in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and have the moniker ‘New Midsize Sedan’ for the USA market, versus the Passat B7 (7th generation) onward, which continued to be produced and sold in Europe from the Emden factory.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
@sewardjohnson made life size, and indeed giant, sculptures which can be seen on display in a big variety of locations. He passed away in 2020.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The original Grant Wood painting was created in 1930 and is based on a real house in Eldon, Iowa, which is still standing today.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The 2021 Passat is driven by @mdewod for the photo, and the 2014 is my personal car. I bought it for $1,000 from an alleyway where I found it in my hometown, needing a replacement motor. Now it’s back on the road, and road tripping the USA.

My entry for the @FCPEuro Under Construction categ My entry for the @FCPEuro Under Construction category of #FCPEuroMadness March Madness bracket would have to be the hand built Caddy Van USA project 😅
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s always a huge work in progress, but with no VIN (chassis number), no working windshield wipers, and a whole lot of other things to finish, it definitely qualifies in that category 🥴🤪❤️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you want to enter your car in one of the four categories, make a post and tag @fcpeuro with your choice of Pre-90s, Track Rat, Under Construction, or Daily Driven. The winner of each categories bracket wins $500, and the overall bracket championship winner wins an additional $500.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It would be cool to see a VW win as the coolest overall, so please enter your best car that matches the best bracket corner for it, just sayin’ 😅
Exclusive 30% off the first 10 sets of brand new T Exclusive 30% off the first 10 sets of brand new Tiguan coilovers from @solowerksinc to celebrate their release ❤️🥳
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They’re specific designed and produced for the Tiguan, with springs made in the USA, and are in stock in California now. On the setup in the photo, it’s at about 50% height, with additional lowering adjustment of another 2” on the front and 1” on the rear available.

Most people would think that Germany is the home of the Golf 1, but I really think that SA is the cultural home of it 💙🇿🇦

Professionally built in Canada, I bought the Jetta Limo from a friend in New Hampshire with no motor & almost no floors 😅

After working on it with some great friends, it had 6 Functioning doors, Schmidt TH-Line Wheels, A long @thule roof box & much more !

I drove it 2,500 miles from Pennsylvania to Vegas for the @semashow in 32 Hours for charity, & then sold it in SoCal ! Lots of fun times with this one 💝
