I see your point...it does have a bit of a drop to the tail... Its not the most beautiful design by any means, but it is so unique and the patina is very cool.
Slam that thing on earlies 
(just kidding of course) |
Patina..???? You've got to be kidding. Come on Randy, you're not trying to sell it. It's a piece of rust shaped something like a VW. If you look really hard at it.........................you might even find an image of the baby Jesus. |
Now that's funny

| My guess is, since its a ealry 40's car that this arent bd reductions but kübel reductions. Its based on a complete kübel chassie including the front and rear axles. even the pan is kübel due to the drain holes. (i hoped i called them right ) |

New photo of a Steyr Puch.
The sunroof was not added by the coachbuilder BTW - they all had them as standard AFAIK. Its a huge sliding panel.
In the UK, there is Bob Shaills Kdf Steyr, which was maybe based on a badly front end wrecked Steyr, as it seems to have rather more VW sheetmetal than most.
More here...

I had a long conversation with the owner. Nice guy, He told me lot of new info.
At this moment he will be hopefully at home back and will take the car for a test drive.
That is all I can say now. So they will be updates soon .
Best regards Peter
