not really.. JordanVw is short for Jordan View..as in Jordan View Farm..
been the name of the farm for the past 175 years since it was built in 1830..
a tad longer than Volkswagen has been around..  :<)
those of you who have been there to the farm always say  "oh so thats where
the name Jordan comes from".. "Jordan View Farm" is painted in big black
lettering in an arc on the face of the biggest of the barns..   used to have Penna
Dutch hex signs on there as well but they have been painted over during the
years..   someday i plan on restoring the hex signs as well..   but being 50ft up
on a ladder isnt the most fav pastime of mine :<)
