The Volkswagen Invasion of Vancouver in 1968

New Volkswagen automobiles on the CPR Pier in 1968


It's hard to imagine that cars used to be transported on much smaller freighters compared to the "Super Car Carriers" of today. I wonder if any of these cars are still on the road. I know many people who have great stories about personal experiences with Volkswagens.My father took this picture in 1968. The CPR Pier is now the location of the new Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre.
