VW Bus (Type 2)

The Volkswagen Type 2 is a world icon of "The Van." Volkswagen was truly the first to bring the revolution of the modern passenger vehicle. The Type 2 was also another iconic hippie symbol, often referred to as a "hippie van." The Buses were also sold as campers. They came with a built in sink and foldable table, on later models foldable roofs were added to sleep. Other versions of the VW bus include everything from a delivery van to a flatbed truck to even a rail going draisine(a car that drives on railroad track). Many companies soon after copied VW by making their own versions such as the American car companies like Ford Econoline, Chevy Greenbrier, and Dodge A100.


Whats not to like about these vans. They are probably the only type of van I like. But the unique iconic design of the 60's makes it a loved van by all sorts of generations.
