Pix of bus-like vehicles. Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, and man of VW's period competitors tried to emulate their sucess with the transporter. Even Chrysler is a modern day hanger-on, claiming to have invented the minivan (VW 1949), and claiming to have invented the double-door (VW 1953).

| 01/17/06 | alex | haha thats freakin awsome it looks almost just like a vw bus. |
| 12/16/05 | Jerry | Looks alot like one my family had in the late '50s and early '60s. Ours was a lot shinier...but then again, it was also 45 years newer! Ours didn't have the extra windows, tho.
I've often thought it would be fun to get another one and transplant a modern drive train into it. That little 2 cylinder 2 stroke engine wasn't robust enough to stand up to southern California driving! When I was a teenager, I thought a beefed up Olds Toronado or Cad Eldo engine + transaxle would be fun....nowadays maybe a Prius...perhaps a Suburu drive train might just drop in with only a little work...Hope someone bought this one and is having fun with it! |
