Restored 1962 Volkswagen Dual Cab Transporter Joins the DFW Car & Toy Museum

The DFW Car & Toy Museum is proud to showcase a pristine 1962 Volkswagen Dual Cab Transporter, a rare gem from the Ron Sturgeon Collection. Finished in a striking red and white two-tone livery, this split-window "DoKa" has been meticulously restored, having covered fewer than 500 miles since its mechanical rejuvenation. Its presence serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Type 2 platform, blending utilitarian function with the iconic charm that defined a generation of automotive design.

This vehicle retains its authentic core, including original bumpers and dash components, while incorporating thoughtful upgrades like safari windows and a period-correct roof rack. Founder Ron Sturgeon highlights that the Dual Cab’s rarity makes it a mythical find in the collector car world. By maintaining its mechanical integrity while enhancing its vintage aesthetic, the museum honors the versatility that made the Volkswagen Transporter a global cultural icon for decades.

Visitors can now view this exceptional truck alongside over 200 classic vehicles and thousands of pop culture artifacts at the new 150,000-square-foot North Fort Worth facility. The museum offers free admission and parking, providing a premier destination for automotive enthusiasts to explore the history of design. Whether you are a fan of vintage engineering or simply appreciate automotive history, this collection celebrates the stories behind every steering wheel.
