facthunter Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 The name is CitrOEN. Marty you are forgiven for having a liking for the Gallic design. As for the VW variants, why make a BAD thing worse? Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nev I think the ID19 and DS21 were the most radical, advanced vehicles in spite of all the knockers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I don't see how one could fit it there and have the suspension and driveshafts. It wouldn't be very fast. The original Kombi wasn't, even by itself. You never saw them pulling anything. Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomadpete Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 And nobody picked up that the two pictures were of totally different projects. Top pic was about 1970-ish twin cab tug, relatively standard. Bottom pic was split screen 1950-ish, radically reinvented. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomadpete Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 But either vehicle couldn't pull the skin off grandma's rice puddin. When they were new, every weekend you could expect a kombi holding back the queue of cars heading for the beach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacesailor Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 (edited) Not much space in a ' single cab Ute ' . Towing a ' caravan ' . In NZ Always a hold up on the steep hills. ' just another " dub-dub " !. Until We got that " Holden Commadore, with it's crash 1st gear ! .
