Brubaker Box - the first minivan

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

It´s the coolest Bug ever. Only 13 of 30 to 50 cars build wordwide in the 70s are still on the road. One of the lucky ones who drive a Brubaker Box is Andreas Stevens from San Diego.

    I chased a few of these down over the years...the first one I saw in person was in an accident in front of my apartment in Woodland Hills CA in 1976. I found the silver and magenta one that's now in Europe when it resided near Lake Elsinore...it was too pricey for me. I found another one for Richard Miller back in the late 1990's, and I met him in San Diego at Bob Butt's (the TV Batmobile replica guy) place to pick it up. I found another one for Richard in Sun Valley CA a few years ago, but we never got together on it....it might still be sitting up there.
