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).

| 06/16/03 | David G. | I saw one of these panel vans in a junkyard! But rather than having the "open" grille it was made up of horizontal slats... a very VERY unusual looking vehicle. These are suposedly very rare. |

| 05/20/06 | Harbista | They say the van on top right is based on a VW Kubelwagen (WW2).
Don't know if it's right. |
| 07/03/02 | fs | you ask about the blue "panel" (homemade camper conversion?) van being driven on dirt?
