Oldest magazine article? 2 November 1949. They call it a "Lieferwagen" or "delivery van" at the time since the model name had not yet been determined. So everyone that gets scolded for calling a VW Bus a VW Van, they are technically correct

omnibus in German is used as stated above.
Wanted to add that the word is originally Latin ( old Roman) and means 'to all' 'with all' ' all together'
glad I had Latin education in highschool. makes you understand a lot of languages quicker.

the ad on the front is for "Genantin", better known as "Glysantin", or antifreeze

These prototype articles are just sick.

"The VW is not just a car. It's a disease. And a contagious one at that!"
That's a good start for an article! |
