Re: Random pictures that you did not take.

Yep. One design objective given to the engineers was to be able to carry eggs across a plowed field. These things were the same as VWs, a gov't plan to bring the automobile to rural farmers to mobilize their market in the '30s. Another objective was to get 80 mpg! I could use one of these quirky panel trucks. You can keep the ones they offer today. These things were ahead of their time when you look at these teeny vans they have today. Only what you need, nothing more. Here ya go!

Later on they offered other models and in other markets they came up with their own models. There were even "fancy (???)" models and a 2dr. I say a coach-built 2dr convertible that looked cool. Stuff a Honda Civic motor in there and have yourself a real beast! They even had a Picasso model
