[T3] General questions...Vintage VW-related...

[Dave Hall]

Every time I get into my 2008 Golf and settle into a comfy wrap-around seat,
put on the air-con, need the electronically dipping interior mirror, use the
heated outside mirrors, select where the warmth/cooling air flow goes, open
or close a window at the push of a button, and when at my destination get my
raincoat off the back seat or drop off a rear-seat passenger without having
to get out, I realise the advantages of a newer car with modern facilities.

I agree with your comments on colo(u)r.  We had a local gathering at a VW
dealership and parked our Type 3s and Type 4 out front for a photo - what a
lovely colourful display against the drab grey, black and silver VWs (well,
the silver ones were not drab, just too numerous - I'm not getting at
Keith's lovely silver Notch!).

The merits of a classic Type 3 VW are just as obvious, but different.  I can
appreciate both of them - the air-cooled engine, and its lovely sound. ;-)

1)  Where did Wing Vent windows go?...and why?   Without them, how to get a
little air in the car without blowing hats off people in the back seat?
2)  Where did car color go?   Virtually every car today has no color or as
little color as possible...so as to be invisible on a dark road.   

3)  What's the deal with almost all of today's cars, even small ones, having
Four Doors? Whhat car, except a taxi, needs more than two?   Is it that with
an older population, back seat riders can't get in just by pushing the front
seat(s) forward?   And what about expense of fixing those 3rd and 4th doors
if hit in an accident?  ...not to mention expense of electrical doo-dads in
those unnecessary rear doors?
