Volkswagen Transporter Pickup

Flatbed and pickup trucks based on the Volkswagen Transporter series are rare in these United States, no doubt in part on a 1963 law imposing tariffs on imported light trucks in response to poultry tariffs in France and Germany on chicken imported from America. But it could also be because VW pickups aren't as, er, manly as Chevrolet, Ford or Dodge pickups.

 

This 1971 VW pickup has an extended cab, plus side drawers to carry tools and the like, showing VW's commitment to versatility.
