I'm still waiting for them to come out with the VW California in North America. I saw a Combi and can finally identify it. I didn't even know what it was.

Gee, too bad they didn't sell a few of those here like the did that Mexican Beetle.
We had one when i was a kid. The camper version.

It was still being built to 63-year old safety standards - would you really want one ?

Why not? I doubt a lot of people died in these things. There are plenty of 1963 somethings on the road.

Thats doubtfull , it was last updated in the late 70's and would have had some continual work done since then
