Vintage Volkswagen 181, aka the Thing

[High-Res]

I spotted this old Volkswagen parked in the Jounieh souks while heading to work this morning. If my search is correct, this is a newer version of the old Volkswagen Kübelwagen. the Kübelwagen was for the Germans what the jeep was for the Allies and was heavily used in WWII.[Link]

This vintage VW model was called Volkswagen 181, or “the Thing” by the Americans, and was produced between 1969 and 1980. [Link]

It looks in great shape for a 30+ year old car.
