 |

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! 
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!

That;s what happens when you assume!
As I said, I'm not aware that one ever existed. If you find one, let us know!.

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.....
