Whats going on with the rearmost outrigger? It doesn't have a center piece.

I think the transmission mount is the very early version before chassis +/- 4000.... and the full width U beam on top of the rear torsion tube is so weird that it could be a prototype or a super mega early chassis. |
yes, that chassis is very odd, and likely very early as you mention.
by 1950/51 I don't think VW was using the small mushroom air cleaner much if at all, I would expect to see a "T" filter or a "cyclone"...although anything is possible. Maybe its a prototype '49 display chassis? _________________ drive your split. |

The cut-away engines are usually not consistent on strict period correctness of the items. They are a representation of mechanical principles and construction not period correctness. I would expect the same for a chassis. _________________ .

When I was hauling my kids and there friends around their friends would try and slam shut the cargo doors like an American car/truck. Even after I told them not too. Even my kids would tell them, but you know teenagers, In one ear and out the other. I got pretty grouchy about it and I think I might have been known for it around the neighborhood. _________________ Prosit!

Have you considered simply starting with a nicer bus? I don't know what your skills are, but the race is easier if you can see the finish line. If you are not a runner, don't start off doing a marathon. |

I don't know but agree it's a super cool photo.
My 1st thought is it's a Zundapp promotional shot but it's weird (to me) they don't show the entire Bus in it. |
...nor a zundapp
