Sales Brochure, "The Volkswagen Camper," 1968
Add to SetSummary
The Volkswagen Type II camper, introduced in 1949, fueled a postwar interest in recreational vehicles in the United States. The compact van was a marvel of efficient design with a bench that folded into a double bed, an ice box, multiple storage spaces and an optional gas stove. Even the spare tire did double duty as a table stand.
