A Bug Named Bailey
David and Denine Summers
My name is Bailey and here is my story. I was purchased new July 31, 1967 at Pitcarin Volkswagen Morrisville, PA by Mr. and Mrs. Lyman G. Schermerhorn, Jr. of Morrisville, PA.
Serial Number 117789010 VW 113 Sedan Ruby Red (1967).
I spent most of my life in the Morrisville area owned and maintained my Mr. Schermerhorn. Pitcairn VW did most all my normal maintenance and repairs throughout the years.
Mr. and Mrs. Schermerhorn also owned a VW bus at one point in time. I had an unfortunate fender bender on the left front which cost Mr. S $1,130.00 to repair in November of 1972.
Son James Schermerhorn and his wife Beverly of Downingtown took title to me in November of 1994 at 42,213 miles and I stayed with them in their barn while Jim drove and worked on me when he had the opportunity, but I had to share the barn with Jim’s Austin Healy, but that was OK.
In September 24, 2005 at 44,111 miles David and Denine Summers of Downingtown, PA purchased me from James and Beverly Schermerhorn, and registered the V.W. Beetle as an Antique. After several months of reviewing the condition of the vehicle it was decided that we would proceed with a full authentic restoration of Bailey. The 40K original miles had been fully documented by state inspection receipts. After a tear down of almost the entire vehicle and several body shops and approximately $7,000.00 Bailey returned to the road in the summer of 2008
On July 26th 2009, I attended one of my first car shows, The York County VW & SPVWC 6th Annual Summer Sizzle and I took Best in Show. I smiled all the way home.
