| 04/30/05 | todd | Nobody in 18 years of owning that 23 in the pic has ever doudted its logo authenticity .As for me ,it has never even crossed my mind weather my bus Ray (for Rays Repair) is truely who he says he is he just is "Ray". |
| 06/15/03 | Jules | MAYBE???? Ray had a BIG family?? Carry the washers & mowers round midweek. Then put the seats back for some family fun at the weekend??
Builder i know puts the interior back in his wedge for summer climbing trips over 2 Europe. Rest of the year it a workhorse |
| 06/14/03 | ronnie | There are lots of early logoed passenger buses up this way. I'm just a few minutes down the road from sweet home and from a guy who worked at one of the local dealerships in the late 50's told me it could be tough to get your choice of a new vw around here. The lot where my 57 deluxe was sold new was so small that they refused to take trades, and many cars where sold before they even arrived. The old building is still there and I really can't imagine it being used to sell cars out of. Could be these people where taking what they could get. For what it's worth the people who used to own my 57 deluxe also had a 58 deluxe that was a logo bus for their laundry. |
| 06/06/03 | Tony | Adam, a dance school would probably not go out and buy a panel bus correct? So you proved Mike's point. I don't think he is dis-crediting you or your bus, just making an observation. What do you care if the owner of your bus bought it used then had it logo'd? It is still logo'd. |
| 06/04/03 | adam | mike,there were plenty of deluxes and "MICROBUSES" logo'ed,in fact my favorite logo'd bus i know of is a 54 deluxe,that has logo from a dance school,it was from here in oregon |
| 06/06/03 | adam | i bet mikey here is jealous,and he likes to ad his 2cents wherever he can,what does mike own? |
| 06/04/03 | Mike | I bet most of the time, like with Lufthansa, they were for carrying people. |
| 06/03/03 | Jason | I have a pretty good vintage VW literature collection and I have all kinds of period pictures of deluxe micro buses logoed out for businesses. Panels and Kombis weren't always the the model of choice for business owners. I have some neat photos of logoed deluxes used by Bosch, Lufthansa etc. |
| 06/02/03 | Mike | I am not saying that they are not authentic, but I find it curious that a business person would walk onto a lot looking for a work vehicle and then end up taking home a sunroof deluxe, maybe there was a good salesman working that day.I',m sure that signwriters changed there style from 1958 to 1960, right. Like I said, I don't doubt the logos are authentic. I did do my homework on the basic models of buses I do know that YOUR bus is not a kombi. |
| 06/02/03 | Susan | I saw both these buses recently at the Norhtwest Bug Run in Woodburn, Oregon. They were parked next to VW Al and his 71 Westy and tent. I thought they were very kewl! |
| 06/02/03 | adam | the 55(mine is a micro)and was purchased by whites electronics new,if you do some homework you'll find that whites has been in business since 1950,and they stopped full scale production of geiger counters around 54,further proving its not a used vehichle,my buddys 58 might be but i kind of doubt it the logo is so 50s,im currently trying to further document these 2 more thoroughly,shouldnt be a huge hassle,the town of sweethome is very small,the town didnt start"booming" until 1940s |
| 06/01/03 | Mike | That Kombi of yours looks more like a Microbus. Its funny that both of the passenger buses have logos like they were commercial buses. I wonder if the business owner(s) bought them used instead of new. If I was a business owner I would probably buy the more economical Kombi than a luxurious passenger based bus, especially if I was doing repairs to home appliances and delivering geiger counters. |

| 05/22/03 | thayer | What does it matter what Jerry does with his vehicles. I've known Jerry for a long time and know he wouldnt misrepresent himself in any way.
I Dont know for sure, but maybe Jerry is looking to trade down plus some money to help with Medical expenses. |
| 04/30/03 | Clem | Jerry,
Isn't this like the 5th or 6th bus you have bought only to resell? I don't care about re-sellers who are up front about it, but all along you have always said you weren't trying to turn a bus. You say your selling due to illness but you are open for trades, what kind of trades would your sickness deem appropriate? |
