Dodge A100  

The Chrysler Corporation began developing the A100 in both van and pickup truck variants in the early 1960s specifically to compete with the likes of the Volkswagen Type 2, Ford Econoline, Chevrolet Van, and the Chevrolet Corvair Greenbrier.The A100 was sold under the Dodge nameplate, and interestingly the cab would later be used on the large L-series medium-duty cabover engine Dodge trucks with a forward tilting mechanism to access the engine.The design of the Dodge A100 was strongly influenced by other vans, particularly the VW Type 2 and the Ford Econoline. It had the same split windshield as the Type 2, similar dimensions, and body styling close to the early examples of the Ford.A simple steel unibody structure was used for the A100, with the driver and passenger positioned up front in a cab-over-engine layout with the engine between them. This afforded maximum space for cargo in the rear for both the van and pickup truck variants.

When ordering your A100 you had the option of choosing from five engine variants (depending on year), these included the 101 bhp 2.8 liter slant-six, the 125 bhp 3.2 liter slant-six, the 145 bhp 3.7 liter plant-six, up to the 210 bhp 5.2 liter V8. There were two transmissions on offer, a three-speed manual or a three-speed automatic.

Last time I saw a car like this was in a Richard Scarry book, and the worm driving it was having a busy day. Made for a 2005 Birds Eye Peas advert, this pea-shaped go-kart with Volkswagen lights was built to fall apart as it was driving (!)

The Taxi Project 1976: Volkswagen Transporter New York Taxi. VW's submission to MoMA exhibition was based on the Type 2 Bus but with a number of modifications to answer the specifications of the project. The flat-4 engine was attached to an electric motor to create an early example of hybrid drive. A ramp was fitted for wheelchair access and the driver was seated behind a bulletproof partition
