Volkswagen Beetles in Pregón Parade

Who knew that Bugs Bunny and whoever that blue beetle is, and Mickey Mouse and all of the rest of the Volkswagen beetles would show up at the 2009 Pregón Parade in Ambato?

Sylvester.

I'm not sure who this is. (Daisy Mae?)

Yosemite Sam.

Here's another one I'm not sure about. Maybe I'm dating myself...

 

And another I can't place.

The license plate on this one says "El Escarabajo", which is Beetle.

Homer Simpson. The Simpsons have been overdubbed in Spanish and you can see them on Ecuadorian T.V. Homer's name in Spanish is "Homero". The voices are really cool. Whoever did the overdubbing went to a lot of trouble to make the voices exaggerated and funny, the same as in the original version. I couldn't get a full picture of the Homer beetle because other beetles were blocking it until it was almost by me.

I was curious about where these beetles came from, but I didn't think to ask anybody. There were also one or two more beetles that I didn't get a picture of.

I'll have more pictures of the Pregón Parade tomorrow.
