hello jason..
no, it has no rear opening hatch.. itīs a pre window kombi, they just put a window in, back in the days! :(
the rear where the window is in, fitīs in with screws.. this is why it looks like a rear opening hatch! :wink: |

As is just about every bus, but this one just has that charm we all love about an oldie.
Hey, I just noticed it's missing the headlights. Is that street legal? :lol:
I don't think you should drive it until after you get those replaced,
you wouldn't want to get a ticket, would you? :wink:
thanks! :D
the headlights arenīt the only thing missing! :wink: |

Hi Ben, about the window and hatch in the back, I tought it was because Miesen converted it to an ambulance, no?? or do you think the hatch / window came AFTER his life as an ambulance?? I think the hatch is made back then, in 1951, by Miesen... of course, it left Wolfsburg as a real 10 window bus!! G. |

Haha, the rust of that'll buff right out! :lol:
So, do you plan on getting a model correct motor, or going the way most seem to? I would think you're planning on a newer engine, like an early (still carburetor-based) bay or the like. You'd get the simplicity, plus more power for hills and the highway.
Or are you going with an early split engine? |

Miesen did the hack in the rear and built in the hatch on to a hard wood frame nailed in to the body, I removed the frame, the hatch was long gone already :wink: |
