I edited and embellished the concept with the round headlights, added the
VANBONDO front license plate, moved the turn indicators to the present pre-1968
location, changed the paint scheme to a V in the front, tubbed and tucked the
tire/whls, dropped the body and changed the sliding door runner to below the
"belt line". I have a shockwave/flash file with an animated comparison between
the concept and my/our concept. I may have used Dave's original change as a
basis from which to work. I concur that the newbeetle headlights look much
better.
Now for a Dormobile/Synchro W8 version! =)
I will try to up load the animated file some where. Why doesnt this list put
together a VANAGON-list group in Yahoogroups.com? That could be a place to
upload files, databases, pics, art etc.

 what VW came up with! I retroed mine and included ROUND headlamps, a center
 VW emblem that acts as a grille, and a sloping nose that resembles a 1960s
 era bus. Frankly, VW's design is poor.
