More details of a Dune Buggy that was seen on Perron Street in St. Albert (Part 2). The Meyers Manx Dune Buggy. Bruce F. Meyers's charismatic fiberglass creation became an American icon, and the quintessential fun-loving off-road vehicle. According to a Sotheby’s article: “The early dune buggies were referred to as “water pumpers” and were crude, heavy backyard creations based off of full-size sedan and pickup truck chassis, generally incorporating a V8 engine mounted toward the middle of the chassis with a pair of seats mounted over the rear axle. Bruce took it upon himself to improve upon the design, modifying a VW Kombi bus with wide wheels and dubbed “Little Red Riding Bus." Shortly thereafter, Bruce incorporated his boat building experience to construct the first fiberglass bodied dune buggy, and thus the Meyers Manx was born. … It took the world by storm, appearing on the covers of Hot Rod magazine and Car & Driver.“ The vehicle shown here is most likely replica or kit car because a Meyers Manx has a Registry Authentication number on the dashboard, which sadly this one does not.
