A bus driver and a nun want to have sex so the go to the back of the
bus and take care of business.
When they were done, and he had resumed driving, he says "Sister, I have a
confession to make. I am married and have three children". The nun replies:
"Thats OK. I have a confession too: My name is Dave, and I am on my way
to a costume party". |

Low hinges + bullet so maybe 1961... could be 62-63 for Euro Buses too.
8th Bus back might be fried egg turn signals too

Fat lip dog legs rules out 1963. I agree on the 8th bus back with American bumpers, so probably 1962.

That Panel with the Black rims is interesting, first time I have seen Black rims in a factory photo. |

Agreed. It also looks like down by that fried egg bus are a whole lot more US spec bumpers. |

I like the diversity in this photo, double cab, single cab, panel, various window busses. Very cool. Something funny going on with the front end of bus #10, can anyone make that out? |

I found this parts store post card in my 52 crotch cooler. There's no dates on it anywhere maybe you bulli guys can zone in on the year.
If you look closely in the store window there's some more VW stuff on display
Thankfully the bugs ate the corner without the Kombi on it!
