Volkyland Spotlight - VW Type 147 Fridolin

One of the coolest vehicles at the Volkyland collection in Yauco, Puerto Rico is a Type 147. Also know in the VW community as a Fridolin. These vans were produced for use by the postal service in Germany and Switzerland in the early 1960's. This one has been nicely restored unlike the one I photographed last year.

Very nice shade of yellow.

Interior looks great although I do not think these included a back seat!

No corner windows on this one. It must be a German version.


UPDATE March 24, 2023: As reported in Jalopnik and TheDrive, sadly, this wonderful collection was sold off in 2019 after the museum's closure a year earlier. As of this update, photos of all the vehicles can be found in Oldbug.com for those of you interested.
