RETRO VAN
my little red van hits the road, with or without Jack. We always need vacationsssss!!!!
Its one of my art creations for my shop PlayTheArtBox, made from : Cardboard paper box, gouache colors, pastels, color pencils, lots of care and love. An original art creation with a lot of different layers of cardboard paper which gives a 3d effect, creating playful shadows with light.
The Volkswagen Type 2, known officially (depending on body type) as the Transporter, Kombi or Microbus, or, informally, as the Bus (US) or Camper (UK), is a panel van introduced in 1950 by the German automaker Volkswagen as its second car model. Following - and initially deriving from Volkswagen's first model, the Type 1 (Beetle) - it was given the factory designation Type 2.[10]
As one of the forerunners of the modern cargo and passenger vans, the Type 2 gave rise to forward control competitors in the United States in the 1960s, including the Ford Econoline, the Dodge A100, and the Chevrolet Corvair 95 Corvan, the latter adopting the Type 2's rear-engine configuration. European competition included the 1960s FF layout Renault Estafette and the FR layout Ford Transit.
Like the Beetle, the van has received numerous nicknames worldwide, including the "microbus", "minibus",[11] and, because of its popularity during the counterculture movement of the 1960s, "Hippie van".
Brazil is the last factory in the world that produces the T2. Production in Brazil will cease on December 31, 2013, due to the introduction of more stringent safety regulations in the country.[9]
