I am trying to get a copy of a lost title for a friend who has had a stroke and on the application it ask for body style and model.

Can anyone tell me what is the body style and model for a 1965 VW Double Cab.

Thanks in advance. DRB

I looked in the literature section and the brochure calls it a Double Cab pickup.

The first thing that comes to mind is:
Body style: Pick up
Model: Crew Cab

I normally call it a Double Cab but I would probably put Crew Cab these days since that is a more common term for this sort of truck.

From what I have seen in the past, what actually might appear on the title differs by location.
Sometimes they have specific things they use, sometimes it's free-form.

I don't know if they are asking for something specific that matches what they actually use in this case.

Off the top of my head, here are my general rules for dealing with the motor vehicles department:
Say as little as possible
Don't argue
Let them do their job
If they need more info, let them ask you, don't offer anything.
Don't confuse them with facts you "know are true".

Well,I back a square one,he never registered the VW and the DMV has shows that the vw was never in his name,since he has had a stroke he doesn't remember who he purchased the DC from.

I'm afraid we are screwed.

I need to fix the second link, but get an antique plate and pay $16 plus the tax on the vehicle.
