Well, it doesn't have two "s's," but it is a Volkswagen Bus from sometime between 1973 and 1979. |

I guess that "Buss" is the German name (or from another European country) |

In German 'Bus' is correct, but I think in one, if not all, Scandinavian languages it is written with double 's'. |

Right, it would have been "Buß" if there were two S in German I guess? |

Yes..ish We recently had a (still ongoing) reform of the orthography, done by a few brainless but greedy people. Now some, but not all, words have a double 's' at the end. A reform to the worse! I just checked the languages where politicians still work for the people (I hope): In Sweden and Norway it is 'buss', in Denmark 'bus' and in Finland 'bussi'. (Please correct me if the online translators are inaccurate.) -- Last edit: 2006-04-29 23:46:54 |

I just noticed that the van has Mercedes-Benz hubcaps! |

The Canadian T2s were called mostly Window Van (the Kombi, or rather the Kastenwagen) or Station Bus (the Kleinbus, as Station-Bus in French) or just Bus but I don't think Station Wagon was widely used on that side of the border With a hint of a Camper (Campmobile if Westfalia, also in French but if I understood correctly evem the basic Westfalia would have louvered windows) |
