The two-tone Velvet Green and Blue White is the kind paint you'd expect from the factory in the '60s. In fact, this is the car's original color, and we have the VW Certificate to prove it! But it has the telltale luster that lets you know there has been a solid modern investment. It's a truly coordinating two-tone with the bumpers and steel wheels painted the Blue White. The wheel covers, side mirrors, bezels, and De Luxe's bumper trim are all part of a solid investment in the brightwork. And of course, we all love the large polished VW emblem that highlights the iconic the dipping "V" front end. But what really steals the show is the De Luxe's trim line that encircles the whole vehicle and has a minty green streak in the middle that goes nicely with this classic's colors. So while these are known for their robust simplicity, the details on this nicely restored example remind us how artful VW really was.


The interiors were not often too vibrant from VW, and the original gray upholstery is not what your nostalgia expects.

It's a detail-oriented package, so you get the correct dual-spoke steering wheel with Wolfsburg crest, single VDO gauge, and the De Luxe's correct clock in front of the passenger.

The upgraded two-tone seats and side panels really seem to glow thanks to all the light let in by this 13-window setup. Of course, even with a show-worthy Bus, you want it to be useful. That's why you have robust black carpeting, two full rows of rear seats, dual dome lights, and bars protecting the windows in the cargo area.
