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 !
My dad had one, a 44 hp 1967 model. The sensitivity to side wind was enormous. Crossing the large, open, steelgider Moerdijkbrug in Netherlands, with 90 degree crosswind was outright dangerous. Arriving in Brabant driving with crosswind over open roads, passing every farm had to be corrected with large corrections of the wheel. It looked like sailing in gusty weather. The acceleration was seen the load capacity of the car, less than optimal, say it politically correct. The cabin was loud, a hollow metal can. As kids we could place our feet on the rearside of the right headlight holder, which protuded in the cabin. We knew, alltough 7 or 8 years old, that a crash would end in a wheel chair... Good luck with your T1, and live long.
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?
