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).

| 09/02/02 | Hartmut Lanzer | I am a member of the Volunteer Firebrigade in Bayreuth, Germany. We have a Ford FK 1000 like shown in the picture still in use. It was built in 1965 and has run about 7000 km! It carries a portable pump with a VW-Boxer-engine and equipment. It will be in use for some more years and end in the local Firebrigademuseum. |

In Chile we have VW Trucks and VW Mini Buses like that for public transportation. Usually the body is local made. |
