The "cab aft" lower outline is very clearly the venerable Chevy van produced from '71 to '96, but the upper one? Pointier nose than the Vanagon--- looks a lot like a Toyota! Clearly (and the text confirms) this was an early "brainstorming" sheet, before they even had decided on the shape for the Vanagon. It's an interesting insight into their early design phase. -- John Bange '90 Vanagon - "Geldsauger" |
