If the original Beetle is everybody’s favourite “Bug”, the Kombi is everybody’s favourite “Box”.
Also known as Type 2 (being Volkswagen’s second folks’-wagon after the Beetle), Transporter, Camper or simply Bus, the Kombi is the signature vehicle of not only the hippie subculture (flower power, incense, peppermints, blowin’ in the wind and whatnot), but also the “Beach Boys”, whose surfing in the good old rock ‘n’ roll days was wet rather than web.
