Having never lived in the rust belt; I wonder how long a new VW back then lasted on salt/snow roads before being scrapped for rust? Five years? _________________ Contact me at [email protected]

Something strange with this photo. Check out the odd shadow change on the garage door just above the rear roof of the bus.

Dry paint brush as well, and both logos are upright on the hub caps, what are the odds? _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.

I think the shadow is being cast by the little roof extension/gutter thing above the right side. _________________ Founder and Chairman Emeritus, ECMSAS

My 1st thought,a great possibility that none of those vehicles are in existence today due to rust.

Too add to the conspiracy, I'm not 100% convinced he is on the roof metal of the Bus without something else on there
It looks he would be standing on the opposite curved edge to me. No way is that stable. _________________ How to Post Photos
