Should it turn out to be a Barndoor, you should get rid of it immediately :shock: They were very bad cars and I will be happy to supply you with a much newer Fleetline. I will also collect and dispose of the said Barndoor. :twisted:
You can never have enough Garages :-(

Whoa Paladin whoa...! Dont say 'barn door on the right... Obie one Fig might just hear you....

"Barndoor" buses, as they are referred to by vintage VW enthusiasts, were built prior to March of 1955. "Barndoor" is a nickname
referring to the extra large engine compartment door, or deck lid.

Check the pic....
