Pix of bus-like vehicles. Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, and man of VW's period competitors tried to emulate their sucess with the transporter. Even Chrysler is a modern day hanger-on, claiming to have invented the minivan (VW 1949), and claiming to have invented the double-door (VW 1953).

| 08/26/04 | Josue | Thank you muchachos, you really know about cars, and thank you for telling me, it is a shame that is not a Kombi. Gracias ustedes son conocedores de carros, y gracias por aclarar esta duda. Es una lastima que no sea una combi. |

| 09/01/06 | rohn(psc) | yes this is old russian cars:plants where eraz and raf made were close in 1991. but you can steal buy UAZ in Russia it cost about $8000 |
| 04/25/05 | Tim Thomson | Yes, 5th picture presents the Russian UAZ. On other pictures however I see the Latvian RAF 977. The difference between RAF and its Armenian clone Eraz is that RAF has straight side panels but Eraz doesn't. One Eraz here: http://www.wax.pri.ee/flash/2005_04/pilt%20182.jpg Compare and see the difference. :) |
| 11/24/03 | Dooker | Well, these should be old Russian buses. At least that green one on 5th picture should be UAZ 3962, the one that looks like T2. And the ones that look like T1 should be ERAZ various models :) |
