Love that Citroën DS.
And that Bus has a window combo I haven't seen... wraparounds, plus what looks like a larger rearmost side windows. Stock? |
Super hacked Panel, all the side and corner windows were added
The high vents you see in front of the corner windows means it was originally a bench front seat Panel _________________ How to Post Photos

I read somewhere this was to do with how vehicles were taxed in the Netherlands. A panel would be a commercial vehicle and taxed lower, then windows would be hacked in by a local garage. Our friends from the NL could probably confirm. |

^^^ certainly in the UK commercial vehicles didn't have purchase tax added to the price so many people bought vans and converted them.
A beetle lived in a windmill in old Amsterdam
A windmill with a beetle in and he wasn't grousin'
He sang every morning, "How lucky I am,
Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam!"
This beetle he got lonesome, he took him a wife
A windmill with beetles in, it's hardly surprisin'
She sang every morning, "How lucky I am,
Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam!" |

Thank you very much for posting these pictures!
I have this picture decorating my wall
Just for fun, this picture was taken on the ‘Lange Mare’ in Leiden, The Netherlands. The dome on my picture is the roof of the ‘Marekerk’.
The canal was removed in 1953. _________________ My 1958 PGSG project topic |

I hope the driver of that Beetle didn't set the parking brake, because he or she is going to have to pull it out of that space before getting in. _________________ Central Jersey VW Society
