Yes! I love the simplicity of these cars! Sling seats, flip-up side windows, and very sparse interior trim. A canvas top that spanned left edge of the roof to the right edge allowed for the transport of oversized items. Suspension was very innovative, providing a huge amount of travel... and also some interesting cornering characteristics.
A lot of unique and innovative features in these cars.
I recall they called these cars "ducks" in Germany, short for "ugly ducks".
Sadly, they were never imported to the US, though I have seen a few here (probably brought over by military folks).
