VW type 155

I ran across this site, that just happens to have more info than I would have expected on such an odd vehicle!! This'd make a cool conversion!!

Cool, a Kübelwagen thread...

One from the GD...

...and one from North Africa.

One might think North Africa at first, but this Kubelwagon was in Southern Russia at the time of the photo

Little known fact: Everyone leaning forward helps a Kubelwagon climb steep grades
Somewhere in France, 1940

Okay, these aren't technically Kubel photos, but since the Kubel and the Beetle share so many parts, they sorta fit.

Another Kubelwagen in service with the Afrika Korps

Note the special wide tires on this vehicle. Designed for driving off road, especially on the sand of Western Desert.
