![]() Today's car of the day is Johhny Lightning's 1965 Volkswagen Transporter. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Type_2 ![]() Perhaps not the greatest color scheme for the Type 2, the casting is nice. This is another of our green vehicles this week (literally, even!) and what better vehicle to sum up going green than a vehicle known for being driven by tree-hugging hippies? Fuel-economical in an era before gas crunches, driving one of these in the 1960s made a statement about who you are and what you stood for. ![]()

Since there are no windows, can we presume the hippies are sleeping? |

CB, I bet Swifty wouldn't mind one bit you borrowing anything from him. What an odd color, like a chocolate. Oooh, GRUUUVY chocolate cookies..... PS CB, very nice new avatar. Edited by ivantt, Sep 5 2009, 02:29 PM.

"Sleeping"? I'd be more concerned with it rocking...or those fumes coming out of the vents. ![]() Ass, gas, or grass- nobody rides for free, man!

She's "borrowed" quite a bit off me, actually. The one thing she never expected though was the little blanket I kept as a bit of a seat cover in the Mustang. She used it to keep warm last summer when she was out visiting me, curled up in all wrapped up, said how soft it was...It arrived at her house some time later, along with a bunch of cars. No clue how it ended up there. Really! ![]() On a side note- I did like the 'vanish' pun, Jenn. I got it! It's a van, so it'll vanish. I'm surprised no one else picked up on this yet! And yes it does need flowers. And if I find another one it'll head your way so you can add some flower power to it!

I've got two of them- the ambulance (which is SO matchboxian it's breathtaking), and the one in off white over sealing wax red. |

JAMES!!!!! OW, MY ACHING EYEBALLS!!!!!! I thought a nuclear blast went off as I scrolled down to your hippie van, jumped out of my seat holding my eyeballs, groping for my sunglasses. I found a pair of Hanna Montana 3D glasses instead and used them to look at your photo. Actually maybe these are the kind of glasses appropriate for this photo........

James, is that a psychedelic sky, or are the fumes distorting whatever that background is?? (all of this started with a simple van of the day....)

Speaking of old, this may show my age, but it's an appropriate funny tale: I played my first LZ album to my drag racing partner and he thought they were awful. "Where'd you find this crap??' I told him to hold on, I think this is going to be the next big thing. I should have gone out and bought stock in Atlantic records. |
