where i lived in Germany, you can still get your beverages, beer, soda, water, milk, etc delivered to your house. In glass bottles of course. that was pre-amazon  |
Yep, Reutberger Kloster-Weisse every week. The delivery vehicle was no VW bus, but the neighbor did have an orange synchro double cab, so... |
as a young lad i had a summer job, delivering fresh local Federweisser in the area, using an early bay panel

Blue Baron, do you know the location of this photo? It looks like the Black Forest area.

I don't think so, look carefully and you can see the outline of the 2 cargo doors, also the handle is just off centre of the door opening, not at the front.

Totally. I looked too fast and the graphic kinda faked me out.
Is that you? The only way to mount a spare if in front.
Think the mom appreciates the bed on the cargo floor? 1962? |
