Hi Clint.

The site with the really comprehensive collection of online sales brochures
is http://vwpix.terlinden.com/ but I can't connect right now to ferret out
the one that described it as an icebox.

The site has (had?) huge scans of ALL the models worldwide, most of which
I'd love to have.  The bench seat hightop work vans are cool, as is the
pickup with cherry picker and I have a hankering for a 12 passenger, dual
sliding door shuttle bus, just because.

My favorite is the Swedish version with the four 7" round headlights with
washers. Its easily the best looking Vanagon front ever!
