Visto a MUC.

Postato il di Tra Italia e Finlandia

Questo allegro pullmino VW Transporter tipo 2,  prodotto dall’azienda tedesca negli anni ’50 e ’60,  fa bella mostra di se’ in uno dei terminal dell’aeroporto di Monaco di Baviera,  nell’area del ristorante “Surf&Turf”.

I pneumatici vintage sono accattivanti…

Ma il dettaglio che mi ha fatto sorridere e’ il piccolo ventilatore nella postazione di guida.  In mancanza dell’optional aria condizionata… 😉

Seen at MUC.

This cheerful VW Transporter Type 2 minibus,  produced by the German company in the 1950s and 1960s,  is proudly displayed in one of the terminals at Munich Airport,  in the area of ​​the “Surf&Turf” restaurant.

Its vintage tires are eye-catching…

But the detail that made me smile was the small fan in the driver’s position.  Not having air conditioning… 😉

  1. Fun post!

    Haven’t traveled in quite a while, but this VW is such a fun way to reminisce, even while at the airport! Drawing in even more guests to the restaurant – bonus.

    Somehow through the course of my life, I’ve owned nearly every U.S. version of the VW line, EXCEPT the minibus and THING (VW 181), and the karmann ghia. Favorites were a much loved Passat, and extremely fast GTI – which was also so small it was easy to park it even in the tiniest of places.

    The minibus holds a lot of nostalgic value for millions due to its surfer image in marketing campaigns and popular culture of the era.

    Such a fun post. Thanks for posting it today 🙂

  2. The VW Type 2 van became popular with the counterculture of the 1960s, thanks to its ability to transport a large group of people while being cheap and easy to maintain.[35] Its design was simple yet spacious, thanks largely to the rear-mounted engine. It contrasted with the large sedans and station wagons that were normal at the time, giving the van an alternative and rebellious image. Vans were often painted with extravagant designs in bright colors, making them stand out on the road even more.[36] The “hippie van” remains iconic today, thanks to being featured on the cover of albums by musicians such as Bob Dylan and the Beach Boys,[37] and being used by fans of the Grateful Dead while following the band on tour.[38] But most iconic of all, the music festival Woodstock, which was held in the summer of 1969, saw plenty of brightly painted vans transporting excited young crowds.[39]
