Hey, my parents had a 1964 Panel van! Yessiree, it was a straight 1500N, complete with rear seat, but with metal panels spot welded in place of the windows. When they bought it in '69 (after their Citro‘n broke in half, another story) they got he dVW dealer to put in wwindows in place of the metal plates. Luckily, they took a photo of it before the window operation, and even more luck, I still have this photo! Sadly, they GGAVE it away in '76 when both rockers, and the battery tray was totally rusted out. I was in no position to complain, as I was only 2 1/2 years old at that time. Still, growing up in the "Beetle wagon" influenced both me and my two older brothers, but not my younger sister, as she was born after the Variant era of my parents. We can see that now, she doesnt like old VWs at all, unlike her three brothers. The panel can bee seen at: http://members.tripod.com/perlindgren/daddys.jpg PerL 73 Variant L Greg Merritt wrote: > Type III folks, > > Aaron sends this message below -- work on the panel van continues, > and he hasn't fallen off of the face of the earth.
