The Story
he Volkswagen Type 2, known as the Bus, Transporter, or Microbus, became an icon of the counterculture movement and remains a symbol of freedom and adventure. Produced from 1950 to 2013, it revolutionized commercial and recreational transportation.
With its distinctive split windshield in early models and boxy design, the Bus offered unprecedented versatility. From cargo hauling to family camping trips, it adapted to countless uses while maintaining its charm and reliability.
The Bus became more than transportation — it was a lifestyle. Its spacious interior and go-anywhere spirit made it the vehicle of choice for adventurers, families, and free spirits around the world.
From Woodstock to the Pacific Coast Highway, it carried dreams, music, and the spirit of exploration. The Bus didn't just transport people — it transported possibilities.
“Freedom on four wheels — the Bus carried dreams, music, and the spirit of exploration.”
