I've already lurked about converting a traditional Transporter into hybrid, but never into a full EV.

The Canoo minivan is a worthy successor to the Type II.
I haven't heard much from Electric Brands Xbus. Here's an article from October: cars.usnews.com/cars-trucks/features/what-is-electricbrands-xbus

I'd take that claim with a grain of salt, not only because EVs are not my cup of tea at all, but also because I'm not sure how the Canoo may cope with some off-roading compared to a Type II. |

The Chris Runge of 1950 Germany was Petermax Müller.
Here's his personal car.
Here's the rather curious engine with prototype Porsche heads and four single barrel carbs.
What follows is a run through Hamburg's Old Elbe Tunnel.

This is what I always wanted: This Classic Beetle Gets A Modern Facelift: 13:15
A reverse alligator hood with a big screen inside. Drive-in movies wherever you are.

I didn't even remember what an alligator hood was. Not what I would consider to adapt to a VW Beetle anyway...

Finding a regular-cab Polauto trucklet is not so easy. Well, nowadays even the crew-cab is harder to spot than it used to be until a few years ago...
This hatch on the bed floor shows where the engine is located, and it's clearly another Typ1-derived makeshift.
