Nine vents, so not barndoor. Also the brake light would be higher if barndoor. So I think it's a post bd brake light decklid dove blue type 23 or 21 with pinstripe |

There's a whole lot of wonderful in that picture! Can anyone make a guess on what the car on the right is? Interesting bonnet louvres.

Bekowa with wood slats?
I don’t think a panel would get a pinstripe, so it’s an early Kombi. |

Ever driven a split bus in San Francisco? If so, that's no big deal.
Yes, you learn to use the e-brake when starting from a start facing uphill. 
and have good brakes, too.
