![]() Today's car of the day is Maisto's 1967 Volkswagen 1600 Squareback. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: Volkswagen Type 3 ![]() ![]() If the wheels, license plate, and window "decals" didn't already give it away, this is one of the Allstars castings from Maisto. The opening liftgate is a fun touch, even though the panel gaps that exist when it is closed will leave some collectors displeased. The opened side vent windows was always my favorite detail on this casting. I couldn't have remembered what series this release was part of, if it weren't for the print on the windows; V-Bugz was a series of various Volkswagen castings - Bugs, and then some. ![]() ![]()

Yeah! A station wagon! I actually bought a couple of these when they came out - have since gone on to VW collectors but still have the fire dept. version in my collection. The opening hatch was a fun "play" item. Always wished JL in their day would have made the 1500 Variant - maybe M2 with it's interest in VW's might offer us one down the road.

I like the Fuchs wheels on that version, though I'd like them better if they were a bit more reasonably sized. The car is cool though and I like the pop windows too. |

When I was kid our neighbor had a yellow one his garage. Never did see it run but I thought it was a pretty cool looking small car. |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!

I think I picked up one of these lately at WM in a taxi scheme. |
