1981 Volkswagen Rabbit Pickup

I knew there must be something interesting in the area when I saw three motorcycles in the front yard in various states of assembly. Given it's current environment in deepest darkest Commercial Drive, this rare car is in pretty good shape.

One must wonder what Volkswagen executives were thinking when they decided to build a truck based on the Rabbit. Probably decided to build cars in the US at the same meeting. Seeing that long loadbed behind the econobox front is now a treat.

BTW 1778 is the address, not the year.

1981 Oldsmobile Omega

1969 AMC Javelin SST

From look of the extra gauges and transmission, this looks like a modified vehicle, but it's all kept subtle, so that the car looks stock.

Love the crosshairs in the right side of the deeply set grille, black on white on black original gauges, excellent choice of wheels. Wood on the steering wheel is real, dash is fake.

Old Mercedes make such excellent subjects.
