Building a car that doesn’t exist - the VW Caddy Van USA story - *VW Caddy History*
Рет қаралды 201,864
3 жыл бұрынMonday's Car Video - the Caddy Van USA - the VW commercial vehicle that America never got.
► This video is presented by SoloWerks Coilovers, and we thank them for helping these videos happen! CHECK BELOW FOR EXCLUSIVE DISCOUNT CODES including for the Mk1 Caddy - valid until October 16th, 2020!
The VW Caddy was first born in the USA, as the Rabbit Pickup Truck (in the Westmoreland PA factory). After that model ended in the early 1980's, the Caddy was never sold again in the USA - but it was in Europe, and throughout the rest of the world. It went from being exclusively a pickup truck, to only being produced in a van body, which is still in production in 2020.
This is the story of building a brand new VW Caddy Van, in the USA. Every single bolt by hand. Every wire. And the windshield wipers.
Today's video is presented by SoloWerks Suspension, who are based in Fresno, California, and part of the KW Suspension family. You can find out more details and purchase their coilover kits here:

We don't use a script, and sometimes I misspeak, sorry. Everything should be just about factually correct. I definitely called the Teensey3.2 an Arduino, which isn't totally correct, but hey, it's close enough.

It is wild to think that I see them ALL OVER as well, (Ireland) they're common cars, but you can not legally import one to the US for daily driving use until it's 25 years old.. So this is the only way to do this legally without crashing SEVERAL and spending hundreds of thousands.. possibly millions to get the NHSTA certifications and compliance licenses.

I remember the good old days of car modifying. Biggest problem we used to have when dropping different running gear into a RWD car was having to work out how to relocate the new gearboxes gear stick so it still stuck up in a usable location on the tunnel. :D Cars all got too complex in the last couple decades. Modification stumbling blocks used to be mechanical engineering related things, but now, the tallest hurdles are to do with getting all the little electrons dancing down the right wires.
