This may have been posted before, but for Retrovan:
Note the double headlights as opposed to the head and fog lights on the production 34.
Actually, by definition, this is a hatchback rather than a fastback.VW Type 34 KG Fastback

Re: VW Type 34 KG Fastback
Interesting - The VW TL Fastback from Brasil has very similar styling....

Re: VW Type 34 KG Fastback
Nice pics of a fascinating car.
It has fastback styling with a hatch, a fastback hatchback.

A fantastic car developed at EXACTLY the wrong time.
Have the history behind this car, somewhere, sad it never made it, was different when 1st designed, then later changed, to get the double lights
Only one in existence, as they changed the original to the new shape.
