As I understand it, there were three varieties of the luggage conveyer. 32A1 White with a yellow belt, 32A2 white with a red belt, and 32A3 red with a red belt.

There was a man named Thompson from Canada who had a very detailed listing of early Husky variations back in about 1970. In our U.S. and Montreal travels, I don't remember the red VW with baggage loader. That variation may give me the incentive to dig mine out and check them over a bit while these collections are available locally. The VW with canopy is one I have, but it was no where near as popular in sales as Ewan has pointed out. It had very little play value compared to the lifts, but they may survive in mint shape just for that Very reason versus the tower and baggage units we all enjoyed playing with so much. Kwakers

Sorry Ewan.
I do not quite understand.

Sorry - it's also called a tilt. On the real thing it is usually a frame covered with canvas on the back of a lorry or pick up. On toys it is nearly always a plastic moulding like on the Matchbox #1 Mercedes. There is a blue-green Husky VW pick up (15a) which I see on ebay a lot, but nearly always with the canopy missing.
