This 1958 Volkswagen Type 2 Single Cab carries a unique history.
Reportedly serving Oakland's fire department after its journey from
Germany to San Francisco, it now sports a bold red paint job. The
Single Cab's design showcases German ingenuity with fold-down sides
and tailgate, offering unmatched versatility for hauling or
display. Authentic 15" Type 2 wheels with chrome covers grip the
road with BFGoodrich P155/80R15 tires. Its clean, utilitarian
profile reflects the no-nonsense approach of Volkswagen's early
commercial vehicles.
Inside the cab, function takes center stage. A full-replacement
black vinyl bench seat provides comfort for extended drives. The
dash and doors match the exterior color, creating a cohesive look
that underscores the vehicle's purposeful design. This interior
puts everything within reach, giving drivers a mobile workspace
ready for any job. No frills, just pure functionality in true
Volkswagen style.
Look in the rear, and you'll find an early 36hp 1200cc air-cooled
engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. This compact
powerplant, a feat of German engineering for its time, propels the
lightweight Single Cab with surprising efficiency. The engine area
houses components restored to factory specifications. From hoses
and belts to fluids, every aspect has been addressed for optimal
performance. The original VW Bus transaxle and swing axle rear
suspension give this Type 2 its characteristic handling, while drum
brakes at all four corners bring it to a stop.
