I don't know about the indicators, but the rear end suggests that it was made sometime between 1955 and 1964 (at least if Wikipedia is correct). |

Small door rule out 1964 model year. |

In Europe these pointed indicators came in June 1960. Strange windows on the rear sides and rear corners. Therefore I'd say this must have been a Transporter van originally, in Finland Umpipakettiauto ( http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/lit/61finnish/21.jpg ), not a regular Kleinbus (in Finland Kombi or Yhdistetty Henkilö-Pakettiauto). |

The best words to appear on imcdb this week - they're brilliant. |

The definition they used for the Doppelkabine in that brochure (http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/lit/61finnish/22.jpg) was even better, "avo-umpipakettiauto", which literally means approximately "open closed van", although the better translation would probably be "pickup panel van" or something like that. -- Last edit: 2011-03-11 18:19:36 |

By the way, the panel van seems to have been marketed as the "Kastenwagen", umpipakettiauto is just the Finnish translation for that word. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/lit/61finnish/03.jpg The entire series was marketed as the "VW-Transporter" http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/lit/61finnish/02.jpg -- Last edit: 2011-03-11 18:13:03 |

"Kumikorjaamo" means rubber repair shop or something like that |
