Vintage VW bug hauling a camper!

I pulled these from https://www.facebook.com/vintagecampertrailers. Apparently the original owner (the guy in the first picture with his wife) gave the photos to the guy who runs http://www.vintagecampertrailers.com/.

These photos are way cool. The bug is either a '56 or '57. Who would have guessed it could pull that trailer?
