I’m astoundingly fortunate. I’ve worked hard to get here, but I’m now in a place where my ridiculous automotive obsessions are literally my job, and part of that job means that, sometimes, I get to actually interact with some automotive heroes that I never thought I would. One of those is car designer Curtis Brubaker, the man behind the Brubaker Box. Curtis sent me some really great early ‘70s Box promo materials, and now I want to share them with you. Because you know how I feel about you. Don’t make me say it.

I’ve written about the Brubaker Box before, but, in case you don’t want to click that link or watch the video until you know damn well what this is about, the Box was an extensively re-bodied Volkswagen Beetle, more than a kit car but not quite a production car.

It had a dramatic-looking one-box design, sort of like a sportscar-van. It was a clean, very modern design, with one door on the side and a lot of room inside, a car targeted at anyone with the ability to, ironically, think outside the box enough to realize what a good idea driving a box was.
