Traveling in Style
The 1960s counterculture era is often associated with the iconic Volkswagen Microbus, symbolizing freedom and self-expression.
Officially known as the Type 2, it became a cultural icon as its compact design and spacious interior made it a favorite among hippies and travelers. Interestingly, the Microbus initially drew inspiration from the Beetle, Volkswagen’s flagship car.

The massive vehicle’s ample interior space accommodated several concertgoers journeying to Woodstock, doubling as both transportation and a makeshift overnight haven.
