Barney Robinson’s 1973 Thing

Barney Robinson is founder and CEO of Orchard Creative. Take a look at his 1973 Volkswagen Thing, with a 4-speed manual transmission, RWD and a 1.4l flat 4. Barney’s wife grew up in a little surfing town called Solana Beach. When she was a kid, her best friend had this car. And she’d been looking for one for years. One in good enough condition to drive semi regularly finally became available. A lovely 80 year old man had restored it and used to enter it into car shows around Long Island. “It’s the most fun car I’ve ever owned”, says Barney.
