Was there ever any discussion about the cargo door handles? standard handle is removed. some sort of standard fridge door mechanism? |
I seem to remember talking about that. There are pictures on the site showing the inside of one - they were all insulated and had compressors to keep it cool, so the locking handle makes sense. I would bet that's why they were all parked out in front of Frigidaire. They probably did the conversions. _________________ 1973 Standard Beetle - running maintenance thread - https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=675712&highlight=

Would never have guessed that color combination from the black and white photo. |

Something odd about the high roofs in the back. Not the right shape. Not tall enough or is it the distance that makes them look weird. _________________ Prosit!

Totally. It looks as if a coach builder removed the bus roof, raised it and filled in to make the high roof sides. |
