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

"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! |
