This month saw the Bacchus Marsh swap meet which went well, although numbers were down on last year it was still a good turnout.

Don’t forget if you come in a VW you don’t have to enter the show and shine to park inside the grounds.

A big thank you to Eric and Andrew for all their efforts and to all those that helped on the day. Not forgetting those that had swap sites on the day especially George from Classic Vee-Dub who comes all the way from Sydney.

A reminder not to forget to bring your favorite model cars along to the November meeting for the model car show. Andrew and his team of intrepid judges will be using them to hone there judging skills on for the DOVW, and there will be prizes for the best models.

(Rye bread). In Germany at the time of production the VW Bus, Type 2, was scheduled to be officially named the “Bully”, but Heinrich Lanz, producer of the Lanz Bulldog farm tractor, intervened. The model was then presented as the VW Transporter and VW Kleinbus, but the Bully nickname still lives on. “VW Bus or Bully, however, is not the only name of the passenger variant, like the Beetle, the Type 2 earned many nicknames from its fans during it’s lifetime.

VW Type 2 The Volkswagen Type 2 was the second automotive line introduced by German automobile manufacturer Volkswagen. It was a van introduced in 1950, initially based on Volkswagen’s first model, the Type 1, also known as the Beetle. The Type 2 is generally considered to be the forerunner of modern cargo and passenger vans. The idea for the Type 2 is credited to Dutch Volkswagen importer Ben Pon, who drew the first sketches of the van in 1947. Three years later, under the direction of Volkswagen’s new CEO Heinz Nordhoff, the first production model left the factory at Wolfsburg. The Type 2 was among the first commercial vehicles in which the driver was placed above the front wheels. As such, it started a trend, at least in Europe, where the Ford Transit among others quickly

copied the concept. In the United States, the Corvair-based Chevrolet Corvan cargo van and Greenbrier passenger van even went so far as to copy the Type 2’s rear-engine layout, using the Corvair’s horizontally-opposed, air-cooled engine for power. The Type 2 was available as a Delivery Van without side windows or rear seats (Panel Van), Delivery Van with raised roof (Highroof Panel Van), or Hochdach, Van with side windows and removable rear seats Kombi, from German Kombinationskraftwagen (combination vehicle) both a passenger and a cargo vehicle combined, Van with comfortable interior reminiscent of passenger cars (also called Caravelle, third generation), Van with skylight windows and cloth sunroof (Samba-Bus, first generation only, also called Deluxe Microbus).

The Australasian and Brazilian term for the Type 2 family is, as in Germany, the VW-Bus. In Mexico, the word “Kombi” translated into “Combi” and in Peru, the term “Combi” is similarly adopted to “Combi Asesina” (Murdering Combi) due to the notorious recklessness

During the hippie era the United States embraced the VW Bus and it became a major counterculture symbol. The Type 2 could carry a number of people plus camping gear and cooking supplies and it was the ultimate symbol of freedom for many peace loving youths of the 60’s-70’s. Its boxy, utilitarian shape made the Type 2 everything the American cars of the day were not. A good majority were hand-painted, some Bus enthusiasts (especially for antiwar activists) would replace the VW logo with a painted peace symbol up front. The Type 2 Volkswagen over time has now aren’t the reputation as a hot collector’s item and has reached a cult like status within many cultures world wide.

VW TRIVIALITIES Have you ever found yourself stuck in traffic, staring at the horn button on the steering wheel of your VW and wondered what a wolf and a castle has to do with your Volkswagen? The symbol on your horn button is the coat of arms of the city of Wolfsburg in Germany, the city where your VW rolled off the production line all those years ago. The illustrations throughout this magazine are by Bernd Reuters, the German Press Illustrator of the 1920s who achieving notoriety with automobile renderings in magazines and brochures for several German manufacturers.

Welcome to the Day of the

Volkswagen This year’s DOTVW is shaping up to be one of the biggest in the clubs history. The DOTVW has been held continually since the 1970’s and has proven to the most popular VW show in Victoria. We have seen our event moved from place to place over the last few years as the event has grown and last years DOTVW at Yarra Glen filled the ground to capacity and at 1pm the gates had to be closed. Cranbourne race course is the perfect venue for our event this year with all parking for VW vehicles within the racecourse. There is more than ample room for all car show entrants, swappers and visitors to park inside.

The venue includes undercover trader sites for over 40 VW traders as well as the new car displays. We have also invited some new diverse and exciting trade displayers to this event including clothing retailer’s automotive service providers and many interstate VW businesses. Continued page 8.

In 1948 Reuters was commissioned by German Ford as an illustrator, from 1950 until his death in 1958, he was entirely committed to Volkswagen for brochure renderings. Reuters also contributed prominently to the interior styling department as a supervisor as well as outlining elaborate VW exhibit display stands for major car shows.

Cuckoo VWCV Oktoberfest Cruise

The VWCV held a very successful cruise to the Cuckoo restaurant in Olinda to commemorate Oktoberfest on Sunday, October 29. The Cuckoo has a renowned reputation in depicting the true ambience of Bavaria, which certainly helped to promote the spirit of the occasion to make the event more enjoyable.

12 Volkswagen Club of Victoria Inc.

On a fine but overcast morning 52 people arrived at he Croydon Hotel at 10am in an array of about 20 VW vehicles. Everybody appeared to be enthused and many had not yet eaten so that they could really appreciate the luncheon. After a short spell on cruise details, we set off at 10.30 in convoy for the Cuckoo via the observatory lookout. The short cruise was rather casual because the route incorporated mostly built up areas including the outer Eastern suburbs of Croydon, Mooroolbark, Montrose, Kalorama, Mt. Dandenong and Olinda. Upon arrival at the lookout, the cloud cover and light fog began to disperse to reveal excellent photo opportunities.

The city appeared rather distant and miniature from only 35 kilometres away. About 20 minutes was spent admiring the wonderful scenery before the convoy resumed onto the picturesque Mt. Dandenong Tourist Road. Arrival at the Cuckoo was around 11.50am. Once inside, a central area was allocated to us which was very accessible to both buffets! Drinks (including steins!) were ordered from the tables which added to the convenience, allowing more time to appreciate and relish the overall atmosphere and the vast multitude of foods including hot/cold and savoury/sweet dishes.

Whilst enjoying the luncheon, many noted an old, small black and white framed photograph of a split window Kombi outside the Cuckoo surrounded in snow. The photo hung just above the doorway from which we had all walked through. How very appropriate for the VWCV! Live Bavarian music, a roving comedian, traditional bell ringing and even hand puppets thoroughly entertained us throughout the afternoon. No one left hungry for the drive home. Most were also feeling rather tired after such a satisfying meal. A superb afternoon was had by all who attended. Cheers to happy times.
