1971 Volkswagen Squareback

Seeing a VW Fastback in action on a racetrack reminded me of how cool the Volkswagen Type 3 was. The Fastbacks and Squarebacks were never as common as the Beetles, but you'd see them. Here's one that isn't coming back. More »

1973 Volkswagen Type 3 Squareback

Welcome to Down On The Street, where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot: Alameda, California.

Now I've managed to add another '73 Squareback, and this one has the rare automatic transmission.
