I found some great pics today of an original Kubelwagen (or Kuebel-Wagen as the museum writes) at the Heartland Museum of Military Vehicles in Lexington Nebraska.
This Kubelwagen is a Type 82, and was built in November of 1944 for the German Army. It had a 69 cubic inch engine, with a whopping 25hp.
I don’t think it would win any races.
But it is pretty sweet looking. It is slightly different than the more modern Thing, but still has some differences. The biggest difference to see is the front end, the Kubelwagen is much more sloped than the Thing.
me parece increible que todavia hallan estos carros tan interesantes como el kubelwagen 82 llamado en sudamerica el safari volkswagen o jeep jardinera.
Este carro lo tengo desde hace 33 años y lo compre en sucres ( 26.000 ) lo que es en dolares americanos 1.20.
Este carro me ha servido en todo momento.
me gustaria adquirirlo o que me envien el historial mas detallado del carro o donde encontrar repuestos ya que me falta el motor del limpia parabrisas.

very very unique design. as they saying goes they don’t make’em like they used to do.
Nazis make the best cars.

Looking for a new car. Image the look on your mates face showing up with a car like that. LOL

This car makes me remember Indiana Jones and the riders of lost arc.
As Richar said, the cars from nazis was really great.
It does remind me of the “thing”.
Funny, I don’t live far from Lexington and I’ve never been to see that Thing. Thanks for the heads up, I’ll visit it next time I’m in town.
So I don’t even know how to put it… so cute, special, great design, and historical. I like it a lot! I’m amazed how did the technology evolved along the time…
The photos of German Kubelwagen Type 82 are great.! It is my first time to see this kind of car design.
By the way, if this is the original design of this car, then how old is this car? Can somebody here tell me?
In German it’s Kübelwagen or Kuebelwagen.
Kubelwagen is pronounced Koobelwagen…
