GT5 1962 VW Typ 2(T1) Samba Bus

Here is a VW Type 2 bus.


The GT5 1968 Volkswagen Typ2(T1) Samba Bus is pictured here while parked in various spots at Lucerne Chapel Bridge - one of the GT5 photo travel locations.


The Type 2 is an important vehicle in the history of autos; it was built on a modified Type 1  platform (the "bug"). Praised for its versatility and including a camper van version, the vehicle was adopted by the 1960s and 1970s counter-culture.


The Lucerne dude is still here.


Air-cooled and rear-engined (where the vents are).


Engine: air-cooled until 1984.


Performance: top speed of 97 km/h; 0-100 (97) km/h in 75 secs.




This is a splittie - with the split window in front (manufactured 1950-67).
