Rare 1960 Lloyd LS 600 Kombi Pan Am Blue Minibus Now on Display at DFW Car & Toy Museum

FORT WORTH, TX, August 27, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A charming and exceptionally rare 1960 Lloyd LS 600 Kombi minibus— finished in authentic Pan American World Airways livery — is now on display at the DFW Car & Toy Museum as part of the Ron Sturgeon Collection. This delightful piece of automotive and aviation history offers visitors a nostalgic window into the golden era of air travel.

Manufactured in Germany, the Lloyd LS 600 Kombi features a compact yet capable 596cc four-stroke engine and front-wheel drive — an innovative design for its time. The vehicle on display is finished in the correct Pan Am Blue, paying tribute to the airline's iconic mid-century branding and Jet Age glamour.

Adding to its charm, the minibus is accompanied by an array of original Pan Am materials and collectibles, making it a true time capsule from an era when air travel represented the height of style and sophistication.

"This little Lloyd LS 600 Kombi is a wonderful example of how vehicles can tell a story far beyond their engineering," said Ron Sturgeon, owner of the DFW Car & Toy Museum. "It's a fun and rare piece that evokes the excitement of 1960s air travel — when flying Pan Am was as glamorous as it got. We're thrilled to share it with our museum guests."

A true memento of Jet Age travel and leisure, this rare Lloyd joins over 200 classic, exotic, and unusual vehicles on display at the DFW Car & Toy Museum, alongside more than 3,000 collectible toys. The museum's dynamic collection ensures that visitors can always experience something new with each visit.
