Some nice conversions of the VW Thing (modern version of the Kubelwagen):

I loved the one I had but a bit drafty in New England winters, had to scrape
windshield frost on the inside while driving sometimes (did not have the
original heater unit which burned gasoline).

Back when VW was still developing the "new beetle," one of the proposals I 
read was that it might be a diesel-ev hybrid.  I think they meant a true 
(plug-in) hybrid, but I'm not 100% sure.  

This would have been 1994 or 1995.  Toyota released its first generation 
Prius in 1997.

VW veered off course with this proposal and ended up making it a rebodied 
ICE Golf.
