Occasional Toronto: Theme Day - "Curiosities"

Theme Day - "Curiosities"

The theme for September 1 for the City Daily Photo Blog community is 'Curiosities' and I chose this rather odd truck which I have spotted many times over the summer. I have never seen anything like it and after some google research the best I can do is that it is a VW Vanagon also known as a Doka which refers to it being a double cab. It is probably from the late 80s or early 90s.
Taking part in the theme Curiosities. Click HERE to see more curiosities from around the world.

Julie said...: It sure looks like a hybrid, My son drives a dual cab ute which sounds like a massive truck. But it, at least, is prettier than this one. Sure is curious.; September 2, 2015 at 6:49 AM

Taken For Granted said...: Have a friend who would love having a VW pickup like this one. He has two vans, one a people mover and the other a camper. Don't think VW made many of these and exported even fewer to North America.; September 3, 2015 at 6:35 PM
Jack said...: Taken for Granted knows everything there is to know about machines and vehicles. I defer to his superior knowledge.; September 3, 2015 at 8:22 PM
