But, she had no apparent conception of how much money $17 millionthe amount of the estate at her death was, what it could do or what people would do for it.

The amount of money involved brought on the rush of thousands of claimants. Some unscrupulous counsel even formed heirs clubs with $3 a month dues to members.

She can take eight or more Scouts, with cook-out gear. She can give the family plenty of sun. (Why no other station wagon has a sunroof remains a mystery.) She won't ever have to worry about the radiator boiling over. There's no radiator, no water. (The VW engine is air-cooled.) And if she likes to see where she's going, the VW Station Wagon has in- credible visibility.
