there is integral coolness in VW's... but it takes some work to make it show
The above is written up here: http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2010/11/mental-breakdown-1700hp-volkswagen-bus.html
Ever wonder how safe the roads are when old people can't see over the steering wheel? How safe can they drive when looking between the spokes?
Did you notice it's a right hand drive car? WTH?
Anyone know what the red letter "I" are about?
maybe these are just some new "thing" like the "Obey" photos of Andre the giant that were put up everywhere around San Diego

Frank in the Netherlands needed help identifying this car, what make model and year? Chrisoncars.com knew immediately what it was! Power of the WWW!!
It has a unique hood ornament that isn't in the Hood Ornament ID Guide http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/08/hood-ornament-identifiaction-guide.html
Chris http://chrisoncars.com/ knew exactly what this was
Hi Jesse,
The mystery car on your blog is a ’39 Matford. The Matfords were a joint venture between French maker Mathis and Ford. They came with either V-8/60 or V-8/85 power. I think this one would’ve been a 60 car. There are photos of other Mathis cars that have a more ornate grille. Those probably got the 85s. How I know this shit, I have no idea.
Regards,
Chris
