No holes in the main cargo area, only on the cargo doors, "universally" drilled as I suggested, regardless of what model they went on...

Here's the cargo door. They are both drilled, "universally", but never had panels...

Whats left of the OG paint on my 66 kombi. Someone chemically stripped the outside, minus the roof. :(

Cool Bus but the emblem being too low, '66/'67 front bumper, and flared out rear wheel well lips have always killed me.

sorry for the thread jack, but yes John, we're talking unmolested kombi's.

Didn't notice the bumper yet but it's the wheel/color combo that works for me!

Be right back, need to go change my pants. Beautiful!

Thanks for the idea on mounting a paper towel holder on the spice rack. Great idea.

It's listed for 1959 as well as 1960.

Wed Aug 13, 2008 4:51 pm

I see it is listed as correct..But in my relatively short 5 years of interest in Double Cabs I have never seen a '59 in this color.. And the only '60 I've seen is the picture Everett posted in the gallery..

So does anyone actually know of any '59s that are this color originally...
Have any pics..
