Guinevere Freccia of Freccia Brothers Garage opens up about her family’s 103-year Volkswagen legacy—from the early Greenwich dealerships to restoring Beetles, buses, and squarebacks while fostering a tight-knit VW community that feels more like family than customers.
This episode dives into the shop’s current eviction fight, the nonprofit and community efforts underway to save the original location, and how the VW world can come together to help keep this historic garage alive. Now more than ever, the VW family is needed to protect a piece of our shared heritage.
