Has anyone ever seen an early bay WIKING double cab? I have 70's bugs and bays, but never seen a double or single cab.

Is the question about double or singlecabs?

There was never a Bay doublecab by either Wiking or Cursor.

Keep in mind Wiking made Bay singlecabs only in 1:87. Cursor made them in 1:40, and they're often mistaken for Wikings, because they are just as nice.

I have Cursor VW promo Bay Windows, and a few Wiking 60’s bugs and type 3’s in 1:43 scale. I am loooking for a Wiking or Cursor bay double cab.

My frame of reference is for anything made before the advent of barcodes! :lol:

I'll default back to my original answer: There was never a bay doublecab in 1:40 by either Cursor of Wiking. (In fact, there were no Bays at all by Wiking. They were all Cursor.)

This is back in the day!

Just found this old picture

I assume without making an ass of u n me. Cursor made a double cab also.

I want one!

That;s what happens when you assume! :lol:

As I said, I'm not aware that one ever existed. If you find one, let us know!.

Maybe someone who has the VW primo display may have one, or two

Cursor did make a double cab. Photos courtesy of VWdog’s collection.

Anyone have one for sale?

Hmm, where did you find those pics? They look oddly familiar...

My Cursor/Wiking cabinet gen 1 and gen 2 plus some more recent...

I searched for years for that DC after the new-to-me damn internet showed me one. Eventually it was German eBay to the rescue. I *might* have another.....

And Boom! Goes the dynamite!

I know a little about a lot of things, but not always a lot about a specific thing. There are collectors who specialize in particular lines. Clearly there is a lot more to Cursor than just the Kombi, singlecab and panel!

Today 2:53 pm

I know a lot less than you Mr Blue Baron. That’s why , when I don’t know something, I ask those who know. Hence my original post. Keep up the awesome pictures.

Thanks
