Description

Who would have thought that cutting the back part of a VW Type 2 could only make it better. The clever folks at Volkswagen did and that new utility vehicle was named the 1966 Volkswagen Double Cab Pick-up. Originally built to provide a comfortable family drive, the Type was transformed to fit different uses, among them one that is very dear to America: a pickup truck. Creating a flat space for cargo in the back while fitting a double cabin, the VW DoKa (as it came to be known) became a collector’s item as time went on. Collect and build your own version of an already unique pickup and take it to every podium available at the Horizon Festival.
