Really all on the tin.
VW never offered 4-door or wagon versions of the Typ 1 (commonly mis-identified as the Beetle). Would sales have been better with those options? (Assume the pan is slightly longer for 2- and 4-doors.) I imagine taxi and police models of the 4-door being important. I also imagine the wagon and delivery (2/4dr) being good sellers.
VW built small numbers of 'verts (Hebs). WI they had become factory models? (I picture a 2dr, 2- and 4-seat models).
The Typ 2 (Transporter, Bus) was camperized (as the Westphalia) quite late. Could it have been a lot sooner? How much would that improve sales?
Could VW have had a factory racer program, supplying pans and engines for Formula Junior, Formula Vee, Super Vee, even F3 or F2? (Maybe F1 is a fantasy...)
Could Germany have produced enough steel postwar to supply VW enough? Could VW have afforded steel from the U.S.? Japan? Elsewhere?
Is this too much a VW-wank?
