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.

    I've never seen one before either, but it makes a lot of sense

    I would have guessed the 1970s, but what do I know about cars? This is a curious combo indeed. Hopefully someone here will know more about it.

    It almost looks as if it's going in the wrong direction.

    What a great choice for the theme! I wonder what they keep in the back of that thing.

    I've always liked VW vans and buses.

    The front part looks vaguely familiar, but the rest of it looks like a hybrid. And that red window really pops.

    Looks like it has a few miles on the clock!

    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.

    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.

    Taken for Granted knows everything there is to know about machines and vehicles. I defer to his superior knowledge.
