The Type II

Tomorrow marks the end of the line for the Type II Transporter or Microbus, after 64 years of production and 10,000,000 sold.  It will also mark the last day that Volkwagen will produce a rear engine vehicle.  Volkswagen has been producing rear engine vehicles continuously since 1935.  A sad way to end the year, indeed.  Tonight a photo of a friend's 1964 Camper, which sat on the side of my house for about a year.  There is about three and half feet of snow on the top of this van, the owner showed up on day and shoveled it out and drove it off.
