Mr. Niedermeyer has crafted another “Curbside Classic” for your literary delectation and pistonhead perusal. I’ll publish the latest in his series tomorrow. Meanwhile, we’ve started our contest to “name that curbside classic.” This week’s booty: Mr. Herbert H. Blaha’s most estimable work Taschenwörterbuch der Kraftfahrzeugtechnik. That’s a German – English, English – German pocket dictionary of automotive engineering to you and me. [Also available from www.brandstetter-verlag.de.] So, first one to identify this week’s curbside classic gets the tome with which no transplanted Volkswagen technician (or owner, come to think of it) should be without.
VW Thing.
Nope.
VW Billiard table.

I’m pondering the photo, as well as the reasoning behind posting a “curbside classic” under the “Future Vehicles” category.

Uh, the category was a joke. Gone bad. Amended.
The garbage can beside Ken Kesey’s old rusting bus out in the back forty.
How about a hint?
Prewar or post war?
Orphaned or so far not yet?
I’m guessing VW Cabriolet. Looks like the cover that goes over the roof when it’s folded down.
Very clever, Paul (N.) I know! I know! But as an “employee” I’m not eligible to participate. This one will stump the masses.
Kit car of some kind, like one of those VW powered pseudo MG’s?
Rabbit convertible
Farago posted this snippet, determined not to have the contest go quickly like last time. It probably won’t.
Post war – yes. Kit – no, but let’s say it wasn’t exactly a mass production item either. “Creativity” was definitely involved.
PT Cruiser ragtop, perhaps ?
Or are we to email you with the answer ?
model t touring car.
If I didn’t know any better (and I probably don’t) I’d guess that what we have here is the seat bottom in some sort of Type 2 (Microbus, Kombi, single cab, etc.). If I am close, the picture is cropped in such a way as to omit the door opening and wheel well, which would make it too obvious.
The background looks like a barn and Paul N. said, “Post war – yes. Kit – no, but let’s say it wasn’t exactly a mass production item either. “Creativity” was definitely involved.”
Robert F had it under Future Vehicles and then said, “Uh, the category was a joke. Gone bad. Amended.”.
My guess is that it is a VW converted into a horse-drawn carriage/wagon.
@wgmleslie, you’re getting warmer. Conversion, yes. American, though. And not the typical car to convert.
