60 Years of the Kombi

[dubbed]

Not a great article, but an okay read: 1957 VW Kombi |. Is anyone attending the meet?

I saw the mintest Kombi down near Bells Beach a few months ago - perfect red paint, black budges, nice wheels, and best of all: a splittie. I wish I got a photo of it.

Did if have "Derbierdoktor" on the side and look like this?

I reckon the big black 'VW' badge should be on all new Vee Dubs. Would still make more sense then a Chev badge!

No worries mate
This particurlar kombi (67 panel) was featured in issue 24 of VWMA

I highly reccomend buying this magazine if possible, theres a 5 page story on the Derbierdoktor with some very good piccy's (Ill post a few below)
Heres the website for the magazine, © VWMA - Volkswagen Magazine Australia you may be able to contact the editor and get this issue posted to you.

Now some (scanned) pics









Was Originally found as shown in first picture and was full of bog. Took Daryl (owner) and his team 4 years to resto this amongst other projects!

That's awesome. Thanks for the pictures mate - I missed them earlier!

Four years is a long time to build, but the result sure does speak for itself. It's good to see it get driven in public, too.
