VintageBus.com Image Gallery - Bus Clones

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).

Willy's Jeep FC-150 (Forward Control) Van Model/prototype Willy's Jeep FC-150 (Forward Control) Van Model/prototype
Gordon J Young

A clay rendering of a van variant of the Willy's Jeep FC-150. This may have been the basis for the Commuter as well as the FC-170 based M-678 and M-679. Wiered how this one resembles the 1970's Transporters!!

L'Universelle L'Universelle
david benardo

What a strange weekend. First off; I saw the infamous May 72 issue of nation geographic just sitting on top of a pile of old magazines for sale at the library...10 cents! Then I picked up a old issue of "special interest autos" and found a big article on the "L'Universelle" In which they mentioned taking all the good stuff from the VW Transporter and GMC Carryalls and coming up with something which would cost more than a Cadillac.. it never made it past the "concept" stage. These guys new how to make a "production" "slammed" bus in 1955! And check out the cool air intake built in the roof. And then Driving around my own little town of Benicia CA I noticed the National meet of "Borgward owners". About 15 funky little German cars including a Goliath Combi. I talked to a guy selling some Borgward (Blaupunkt) radios; he said he had one with the word Volkswagen on it from 1965 or so...I bought it site unseen. Then I went down the street to pick up a 1950's blender I had my eye on for awhile at a local antique store, and found a beautiful-Mint 3-piece set of 50's-or-60's Samsonite luggage, the same color as the original paint on my Deluxe! I cant wait for next weekend :-)
