EDITORS COMMENTS
In this nostalgic print captured by Dick Williams, we see architectural student Vic Lock preparing to embark on a journey in his trusty 11-year-old Volkswagen. The year is 1977, and the setting is a local car park in Kidderminster. With a mischievous grin on his face, Vic winds up his vintage Beetle using an old-fashioned key, ready to hit the open road. Vic's unique idea of driving a wind-up car was not only practical but also aimed at bringing joy to fellow motorists. As he cranks the mechanism with determination, one can't help but imagine the laughter that must have ensued from passersby witnessing this whimsical sight. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates the charm of the 1970s era - a time when automobiles were simpler yet full of character. The iconic Volkswagen Beetle symbolizes freedom and adventure during this period, evoking memories of road trips and carefree days. Dick Williams skillfully captures both the essence of Vic's playful spirit and the timeless appeal of classic cars through his lens. This photograph serves as a delightful reminder that even amidst our busy lives, it's important to find moments of lightheartedness and bring smiles to those around us - just like Vic did with his ingenious wind-up car concept.
