the Humboldt Wholesale bus... with the funky cool paint, and the VW kombi grafted to the roof


Cool paint style, and I love that the colors and designs start on the VW and flow down onto the bus.

this is what happens when a VW motor gets replaced and there are no VW replacement motors, no VW parts of any kind


Ugly ain't it? But it keeps them on the road

With appreciation to Romano for giving me a quick education on VW's and how rare and appreciated they are in Pakistan, that even in this condition (see the missing tire? ) they are still sought out to be restored!

Not too far gone to save, because in Pakistan, there are only about a dozen VW Kombis / microbus remaining in the 6th largest country in the world.









From what I recall of my talk to Romano, the VW's were never built in Pakistan, and never imported as a car dealership item for sale, they only came into the country when Churches brought them in to use as kids school buses. So very very few ever came into the country. When there is no dealerships with parts to use for repairs, they don't last long, and never as long as you'd expect. Once a motor has a major problem, that's it, and the motors get replaced with modern easy to find diesel engines. If I have any of my info wrong, please correct me so no one gets misinformed!

Dogs love rides, some get lucky and get rides in cool old vehicles





Looks like 1946 tags on the plate
