He was a sponsor for Dodge.
This photo came up in a recent article which is speculating the demise of the Dodge nameplate in the near future (I have no idea if that will happen or not).
They were known in most markets as the Volkswagen 1500/1600, Squareback/Fastback nomenclature was strictly a VOA concotion.
The Type 3 was the last hurrah for rear-engined designs at Volkswagen, there was even a Karmann-Ghia version (also not sent to the USA).

Fairly popular in Australia where I think they were assembled for a time. Volkswagens did remarkably well in some endurance rallies in the 1950s and are surprisingly good off road. (A serious 4wd enthusiast claims that at the end of every off road route he has driven, there has been a Kombi camping!).
The type 3 was strange with a boot (trunk to you) over the engine at rear as well as at the front.
The efi system is one thing, but the fuel pump was something else. It was driven by a lever against a cam on the crankshaft. From experience with a friends sqareback we found that when this wears, fuel flow is restricted meaning a maximum speed of about fifty. We suspected his father 'fixed it' that way.

Yup, it's an Audi 100 decked out for the US Market.

Extra points if you know the make of the truck, or if you've ever paid those prices for gas. :P

I think the Dodge is a '60. Beyond that is, I think from the trunk emblem, an early '50s Olds but I can't quite make it out. Beyond the Olds(?) is a '58 or '59 Rambler wagon.

Gulf had three grades of gasoline, No Nox, Good Gulf, and Gulftane. In high school I used to buy the cheap stuff, Gulftane, at 19 cents a gallon. I once drove into a Texaco station and the pump price for regular was 22 cents! I drove out. I wasn't going to pay that much.
I started driving in 1974, and definitely paid below $0.40/gallon in my early driving days....
Driving trip to Daytona in 1977.... gas was about $0.57/gal at home... and, we were shocked to see $0.67/gal. on I-75 on the way down.... :surprise:

How can you tell it from a '53?

And back in the mid 60s I worked at Reinauer's Phillips 66 Truckstop in Mahwah NJ regular gas was 27.9 - minus my .03/gal employee discount!!
The hint is in the rear flank which echoes a Citroen ID/DS
A British designed and built Citroen Bijou built off 2CV chassis and mechanicals.
The designer was invoked with Lotus in some way

Boy it's tough to fool you on those Brits.

You can see the tail end of a black sports car on the left, I think it's a Jaguar XK-120 or XK-140.

I think the correct name is Le Caddy Décapotable, but I'm not sure.
They actually used the front doors from the sedans and lengthened them! :surprise:
