Volkswagen Beetle Transporter

A vehicle that’s as iconic as the Volkswagen Beetle deserves to have a big brother. And that’s the Volkswagen Type 2, also known as the Transporter. Initially designed in 1949 and still in production today, this all-time classic was made to be the perfect utility automobile, combining accessibility with efficiency and with a lot of spare room to carry your things around.

Ironically, the roomy Transporter is now less known for its practical uses than for its recreational ones. Today, the VW Type 2 is still associated with the counter-culture movement of the ’60s, mainly because it was so popular among traveling hippies and Flower Power-inspired youngsters.
