I think this is a 1974 Volkswagen Thing. It was also called the VW Safari in some countries. It’s a bare minimum car. It does not appear to have seat-belts, padded dashboard or any other safety features like air bags. It was basic transportation. I believe these were only sold for two years in the U.S. 1973 and 1974.

This is a quite unusual car. Apparently, Ford introduced it when the Ford Falcon was released. According to this web page, it was a great success.
When Ford released its compact Ford Falcon line of cars in 1960, it immediately supplied an open-bed pickup body and called it the Ford Falcon Ranchero. At the same time, it began dropping this body style and name from its lineup of full-size cars.

Quite some time ago I was walking south of Market Street in San Francisco when I spotted this car. I did some research and to the best of my knowledge this is a 1955 Citroen traction avant 4 door sedan. I think that means front wheel drive in French. The car is a classic and may be featured in a wedding or other event. It surely is a stately looking automobile.
