The Volkswagen Bus is widely recognized as an iconic vehicle. Its popularity is largely due to the vast array of color options and configurations available, with each one being unique and potentially valuable to collectors. The Volkswagen Bus was officially known as the 'Type 2' and was produced in two distinct designs. The original Split-Window design was produced for 18 years, and this was followed by the Bay-Window design, which was produced for another 12 years.
