I saw a photo of the VW parking tower before. Pretty wild.

But that living room access item in the OP, oh man, way more trouble than it's worth IMO. Would probably break down a lot.

Yup. I doubt they had any other fuel system back then, but I may be wrong, probably wrong actually.

It's a little know fact that the Green Hornet pioneered fuel injection.
