    He also came with the idea for the VW van of which he built a prototype at his garage, and somehow it got noticed by VW, and then it got a bit out of hand. oooooppppsss that was his dad

    I'm sorry but that's half an ape sandwich story. Ben Pon drew his ideas about a van on the Beetle chassis on a bit of paper while having lunch or dinner with a few VW directors. He didn't build a prototype, let alone in his garage. VW thought it was an interesting idea and about a year later the first prototype was finished. The rest is history.

    Regards,

    Brava
