While in Luxembourg in the early 60's, I recall seing some vehicles that I thought were VWs and they resembled the Thing, but seems they had suspended canvass seats hamock style. Any thought on what these things might have been?

There were a variety of european manufacturers building "beach' cars during the sixties, such as the fiat "jolly", citroen "mehari" and the austin "moke". they usually had minimal interiors (the fiat's was wicker!) and primitive tops.
