Hi, this shows for me, how difficult car styling is, and how taste changes over time. - In the past, reactions may have been different ... ---Aha! The Rometsch Beeskow A.K.A. "the Beetle Banana"!

Hi, very few Käfer survived (and even fewer Kübelwagen, being rarer), because in the middle 60s they were typical beginner cars, costing 400 - 700 DM. They were simply run down, and scrapped ... ---
More PORSCHE survived, but quite a lot of the early models fell into the wrong hands, had a VW engine installed, and were run down, too ... ---

I remember back in the late '70s/early '80s seeing a Beetle with a double row of intake trumpets poking out of the front bonnet. Saw the same car a while later with the one piece (presumably fibreglass) body flipped up, revealing a large V8 of some sort on a clever chassis. At the same show was a Frogeye Sprite with a Rover V8 - the seats were almost over the rear axle!

Hi, a very rare HANOMAG :
There was a German children's rhyme at the time:
Ein Pfund Blech und ein Pfund Lack,
fertig ist der HANOMAG
Translated roughly :
One pound of paint and one pound of steel
put a HANOMAG on keel
(I 'm a poet,
no one knows it (
))
