Kübelwagen

Kübelwagen is a German word, contracted from Kübelsitzwagen (literally: 'bucket-seat car') – originally military slang for doorless cross-country and field-cars, fitted with bucket seats, to prevent riders from falling out of the vehicle – became a household word similar in meaning to the English "jeep".

Kübelwagen is mostly associated with the Volkswagen type 82 Kübelwagen, but it may also refer to:
