The Volkswagen Bus has a special place in the company's history. It was quite popular, becoming an icon for millions of people. A new video takes a peek at the model's legacy by visiting Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles' vintage division in Germany, highlighting some of the more important models the company produced.
The most interesting VW Bulli shown was a special 1968 T1 Kombi, which features half-tracks. It arrived at the facility in disassembly in three or four boxes of individual parts. In the late 1960s and 1970s, the bus underwent a conversion that added two extra axles while wrapping the rear two in tracks. The bus was an off-road monster, serving mountainous locations in Austria. Only the rear axle is powered, with the front two axles used for steering.
