Something I have wanted a little clarification on, were these called just Bus or Camper? |
|

At least not a Camper. Name depends on location, for the US commonly referred to as De Luxe Station Wagon (A 23-window so pre-|964, is there perhaps a front indicator just visible?) |

Seems to have pointy front indicators  I take there is no shot of the taillight? |

Can't see the front part of the roof clearly. Anyway, front indicators April 1955+, seems to have lost its single stop lamp so April 1957+, or 1957-60 if you prefer (US specs)? |

Sounds about right, tore-40. |

Micro Bus De Luxe, for US that time. |

The 'Micro Bus' is a British-English name for the car, adapted by Canadian resellers. For the English brochures available, most are printed in Germany, and if you look closely they are not U.S. - i.e. they list Imp. gallon before U.S Gallon, for one thing. I don't think these were made primarily for the U.S. buyers. The oldest verified use is in a small brochure from 1958, it is clearly made for the U.S market, in which they use the name Station Wagon/DeLuxe Station Wagon. In another U.S. (printed in DE) sales brochure from 1959 they also use De Luxe Station Wagon (please note the spelling) so I have no reason to believe the 1957 used another name.

Is that an Audi 100 to the far right? |
