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).

| 01/30/03 | JOHN B. | IT CAME TO ME ONE NIGHT IN ONE OF MY BOUGHTS WITH INSOMNIA, IT WAS MAINLY BECAUSE OF THE SHAPE OF THE HALL SO RESEMBLED A BUS, RIGHT UP TO THE ROUNDED OFF CORNERS AT THE CIELING, YOU CAN' REALLY SEE THAT IN THE PHOTO.I JUST KINDA DESIGNED IT AS I WENT, WITH THE BASIC IDEA OF A VW BUSS REPLICA. |
| 01/30/03 | rommie | It's fantastic!! Did you have to design it first? |
| 01/28/03 | JOHN B. | TOOK A LOT LONGER THAN I ANTICIPATED, BUT IT WAS WORTH IT FOR THE REACTIONS IT GOT. SOMETIMES THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET THINGS DONE AROUND THE HOUSE IS TO TURN THE JOB INTO SOMETHING UNIQUE, THIS WAS A LOT OF FUN. |

| 12/17/02 | Sean | SANO!!! |
| 12/14/02 | wolfgang | As far as I know, there were bulit VW's with a motor in the front in turkey (the land, not the bird) or greece.
There is a cool website of michael knappmann with a picture of this bus: http://cologne.cyberlab.de/michaelk/vw_bus_d/frontmot.htm |
| 12/14/02 | Mike | But CKD's were like regular buses with the motor being in the rear. And no spare stored under the frame. What ever it is it sure isnt anything vintage. |
| 12/14/02 | Thom | I think that's the frame for one of those buses that were sold "CKD" - completely knocked down - to Southern Hemisphere desinations. |
| 12/14/02 | lind | is that a mexican vw factory built truck? |
Porsche Bus?| Visitor Comments (Add your Comments) | ||

| 04/19/07 | Franz Henneken | Hello guys!
I have seen this pic eight or nine years before. It was thought that Porsche joined to VW and Ford in Europe to build a van. The Ford was built, and the VW is still in production. The Ford had the name Galaxy and the VW has got the name Sharan. They both were made in one and the same factory in Portugal, owned by VW and Ford, now a factory only of VW. I don't like VW Sharan and Ford Galaxy. And if the Porsche Van would produced, it would be the most ugliest Porsche ever. Greetings - Franz |
