For 40 years, Joseph MacDonald says he has been wondering where his 1965 Volkswagen Beetle ended up.
“It was a faded red with a black convertible top and it had shiny chrome hubcaps,” he described.
MacDonald has a car title for a 1965 Beetle, the car he drove while majoring in English at UT. The title shows MacDonald’s signature and that he bought the VW Bug on December 3, 1973. But in December 1974, MacDonald says he reported his car stolen to the Knoxville Police Department.
He discovered it was missing when leaving dinner with a group of friends.
“I knew exactly where I had parked it, right on Highland Avenue, and when we came back there was just an empty spot there. Just poof. It just vanished,” he said.
