In the early '70's I drove the local meat company delivery VW van. I loved that old thing. I delivered fresh ground hamburger/ fresh cut steaks to ALL the local rests in Gainesville, GA. It never failed !
I own 2 of them, both happen to be '61's. One was built in September, the other in October. One is a double-cab pickup, the other is a double door panel bus. I drive them to local car shows, where they are always a hit. 'Life-partner?' Really?
