Get it? Puzzling? Good one huh? :drunk:
Anyhoo, I dug these out today. I don't think I took these apart more than once,
but I did get them new in '69 when I was like 6.
Interested to hear your comments as usual!

Edit: wEiRd Man!! Fist time I noticed this - on the bottom it says "Fred BRonner Corp".
It's Fred Bonner, ain't it???!!!

Fred Bronner is correct Dave.

Thanks for that Stutz - you ALWAYS come up with a cool linc for the topic at hand!!!

Very strange about the Bronner thing. This is the first time I've seen it spelt correctly!
(Stutz's linc says it's frequently misspelted. ;) )

I've always liked those puzzles, and it took quite a while to get the full set of them.
Then another set popped up at the "bay" incl. the dealer-display, and I just had to have it :)
It could be really cool to get it filled up, but that would cost a fortune :rolleyes:

I bought the VW Bus Puzzle a few years ago for my wife for christmas, She like VW's so I thought is would be a neat addition to our VW collection.

I had a 1965 Kombi built as a camper. It was very solid and was going to be a great bus once I took the crease out of the roof where a tree had hit it. I also had a 1966 Deluxe that was a little rusty but "Magic" was just that Magic. I took out the second seet and put in a recliner. SWEET! I used to camp in that bus....Ahh youth....I miss my busses...They were sold by a man running my fathers shop just after he died. Imagine comming home to help settle dads estate and seeing your busses going the other way on the back of a flat bed ford. I was heart broken. :cry: :cry: :cry:
