Ugh! I hadn't thought of the Partridge Family in years, now I've got that dang "Come On Get Happy" song in my head...make it stop...please!

But there is a resemblance to that patchwork critter.

They are symmetrical, FWIW. I could never own one though...there's just no way to make that look cool IMHO.

I was told by a VW enthusiast that there were more than one harlequin (2? 3?) with the same colors but on different panels. I kinda liked them for some reason.

There were four variations. VW would paint four golfs one color each, then swap the panels...whatever the base/frame color was would determine the "color" of the Harlequin. I get a chuckle out of 'em, but can't picture driving one, let alone owning one.

Maybe they just couldn't decide on a coler. So they got them all.

That's a dangerous looking "road train" there Juan, but compared to the classic Jeepney in the Philippines it looks relatively safe. Got to tell you that my one and only Jeepney ride had me kissing the ground and thanking the man upstairs for a safe arrival.
