Subject:      Type II model sighting

I'm not sure if this has been spotted yet, but my bos just brought this in to
me...

As seen in Hammacher Schlemmer (Mid-summer 1995, pg 26);

1966 VW Transporter Model is a detailed replica of the famous "microbus," the
spartan but incredibly practical vehicle that faithfully served families,
delivery companies and communes of "flower children" throughout the 1960's and
70's. Officially titled the Transporter, it borrowed the same flat-four engine
design of the immensely popular "Beetle," and although it had a top speed of
just 72 mph, it did have enough room for eight passengers and could also be
easily converted into a service van. Our 1:18 scale model is made of die-cast
metal and plastic with rubber tires. Rear hatch opens. 8 and 7/8 inches long.
65622M...... $29.95

Display case. Oak with clear acrylic cover for this model and other model cars
up to 12 and 3/4 inches long.
65623M...... $39.95

All that I can see interior-wise is the steering wheel so I have no idea how
complete it is. It's two tone, white-over-red, with white wipers, chrome
outside rear-view mirrors, bumpers, door handles, and hub caps (w/ the VW
insignia on the front and on the hub caps), and even white rims.

The front wheels are cranked about 20 degrees left so the steering might even
work a tad!

Looks pretty sweet.

Hope this piques someone's interest.
