The models closest in the picture is a Samba type 2 bus. If you look closely you can see pick-ups and other models. If you ever had to work from a pick up the VW were the best work truck. Able to drop down all sides or take them off you could have a flat bed in a matter of seconds and can load or use a fork lift from it's three sides. Plus the bed is bigger than 4'X8". Early 60's photo.
Wow, I never looked at this photo this closely! I see the pickups now, as well as the delivery van style.

Question: In the third row (or second row facing the camera), are some of the headlights missing, or is that some sort of VW special headlight?
