In 1950, Volkswagen debuted their first truly divergent model from the Beetle, the Type 2 Transporter, and it can be argued that the world has never been the same. A favorite in nearly all walks of life, the many variants of the Volkswagen Transporter have become iconic in their own right. This beautifully restored Deluxe Transporter from 1966 is among the most coveted of all, with its 21 windows and walk-through front-seat configuration.

According to its data plates, this Deluxe 21-Window Bus was originally finished in Titan Red nitro-lacquer lower panels, accented by a Beige Grey upper section, and Mesh Platinum interior – much as it appears today. The option codes further specify its construction date as March 15, 1966, and that it was built with six opening side windows and the always-desirable split front seats, superseding the standard three-place bench and solid bulkhead normally installed up front. As a Deluxe model, it is complete with special exterior trim, a radio, and clock. It is further fitted with a large, sliding sunroof panel and an uprated 1,600 cc, 60 hp engine to assist in cruising at speed with multiple passengers aboard.

Outstanding in presentation and desirable for its classically popular options and features, this handsome and well-restored Volkswagen is sure to make a fulfilling, nostalgic addition to any young-at-heart enthusiast’s collection.
