I think that's the clearest picture of a Barndoor 15 ever. Cool

Ich habe die Fahrschulprüfung auf einem VW Bus absolviert, der vor 1953 produziert wurde. Smile

I guess it might not be but it does have a lot of Deluxe Features that might not be seen on a converted Bus - rear window jail bars, rear deck luggage rails, deluxe bumpers, and so on.

It's weird it doesn't have belt line trim though.

The wheels don't have trim rings either. just 2 tone paint.
I think there's a coachbuilders emblem to the lower corner of the front cargo door. Remember that these driving school cars back then had to have a second full set of pedals for the teacher on the other side too, so there was a lot of conversion work to be done anyways. Can you spot the screws for a RH backview mirror also ?

Some kind of weirdness around the top of the window above "FAHRS." I suppose it could just be an odd reflection but I would expect it to look similar to the other windows around it, and at least line up at the top:

Good eye Jack, do you think it only has two pop outs and the rest of the windows are fixed?

Yes, pop outs in 3rd row only, but somehow the windows look phoney. I can't really explain that. at least some of it looks coachbuilt to me.

I agree that popout window looks weird but a Bus from that era would normally only have 2 popouts.
