volks67beetle

There is a bus I am interested in buying and the lady told me on the phone it has sliding doors on both sides...it is a 1971. Does anyone have any information on prodcution of these? I never heard of sliding doors on the driver's side as well as on the passenger's. Thanks.

I was assuming it was a panel but this lady said it has windows all along the sides of the bus...I asked her if there are any windows on the side besides the driver and passenger doors...she stated that there are windows all along the sides.... she is going to check it out for me in the morning...it is dark here in Mass right now. I am confused with what this lady is telling me.... a bit excited too!

I've seen one double slider in person, it was at a show around here somewhere. Can't remember what year exactly, but early bay, panel. The back had some metal shelves built in.

the one in the ad was a panel at one point, but someone has cut it to install windows.

this one is really nice: http://66.34.72.138/gallery/image/2100721.JPG

I have a '68 double door that started life as panel, but Roadrunner camper company converted it and cut windows into it. I love my bus, drive it daily. I think most of the DDs started life as panels and were used industrially - delivery-mobiles. A real DD bus will have the factory belly pans like the sunroof deluxe buses. I have a couple of pics in my gallery. Someone a little more computer literate will have to post the pic here.

Man, I should have checked out my gallery before posting . . . after seeing that I don't really have any good pics of it posted, I looked in my photo files on my 'puter. I have hundreds of pics of buses, but I am sadly lacking in pics of my own favorite . . . I will be correcting that this weekend! Sorry 'bout that!
