The San Diego Air Cooled VW Group helped to make children’s holidays a bit brighter on Saturday with their annual Vintage VW Christmas Cruise toy drive at Herman Cook.
The Air Cooled Group is a San Diego based Volkswagen Club that loves to share their passion for cruising and customizing their Classic Air Cooled VW’s. They couldn’t have been more excited to share their passion at this event!
Enthusiasts of all ages helped pick up the Toys for Tots donation boxes at Herman Cook and loaded them into the VW’s.
Even furry enthusiasts came along for the ride.
All were classic vehicles, but each one unique, and many of them festively decorated in Christmas cheer.
Nearly 50 classic and uniquely decorated VW’s piled into the dealership to take part in the event.
Within each vehicle, there were many opportunities to see the classic VW culture that we all know and love.
The classic VWs were a sight to behold as many of them were extremely decorative and customized vehicles.
The group leader Lee Hedges put his heart and soul into organizing the event, capturing a collective VW nostalgia for all those involved.

Once all the VW’s were lined up, they exited past the Herman Cook VW showroom in a stylish procession one by one.
The journey began by cruising through Encinitas.
They then cruised through Del Mar, La Jolla, Pacific Beach, Fiesta Island, Coronado, and Imperial Beach.
Alas, they ended their journey at the Toys for Tots Marine Corps Reserve Center near Miramar and delivered the toys for donation.
The Toys for Tots drive was a huge success thanks to the generosity of San Diego Air Cooled VW, Herman Cook VW customers and employees, and the support of the local community.
