Notes about Bernardus Marinus PON

Naar zoeken springen
Bernardus Marinus (Ben) Pon (Amersfoort, 27 april 1904 - Amsterdam, 15 mei 1968) was een Nederlandse importeur van auto's.
Pon slaagde erin vlak na de Tweede Wereldoorlog Volkswagens in Nederland te verkopen. Hij bestelde zes 'Kevers' in de Duitse fabriek in Wolfsburg. Het was ook Ben Pon die de Kever probeerde te promoten in de Verenigde Staten - maar zonder succes. Hij maakte ook de eerste schetsjes voor een VW Microbus beter bekend als de 'Spijlbus'. Deze maakte hij tijdens zijn bezoek aan de VW-fabriek in april 1947. Daar zag hij een transportwagen op basis van de Kever, die echter alleen in de fabriek wat vervoerklussen deed. Zijn zoon, ook Ben Pon geheten, werd een bekend coureur.
