1973 Volkswagen Type 2 T1 Panel Van for sale in Sylvania OH

Brief history of the Volkswagen Bus

The Volkswagen Type II is considered a cultural icon by car enthusiasts and historians alike. However, years before it was associated with hippies, free love and protests against war, it served as a basic people mover. It was just the second Volkswagen model built, following the Beetle. Starting its production life off as a Panel Van in 1949, the Type II has gone by numerous names and has seen many variations over the years: the Kombi, Samba-Bus, Single Cab, Crew Cab/Double Cab, and the Westfalia Camping van just to name a few. From a day at the beach, to weeks spent camping in the woods; the Volkswagen Type II has always offered versatility, freedom, innovation and individuality. The Type II not only evolved, but was completely revised periodically, these variations are referred to as versions "T1" to "T5".  From roughly 1953 until 2013 these vehicles were also produced by Volkswagen in Brazil.
