el volchol


In Mexico VW beetles are called "bocho" or "vocho" (the letter b and v sound the same in Spanish). This Beetle was decorated with designs and style of the Huichol indigenous people. (Vochol is a mashup of the words bocho and huichol.) The bug is covered with over 2.7 million glass beads.
