’51 Volkswagen Type 2 Samba
If there is any one vehicle that sums up the 1960s, it’s the Volkswagen Type 2. The van was synonymous with the hippie movement, as it allowed for a group of friends to travel together in relative comfort. While all versions of this van have become regonizable, perhaps the most iconic is the ’51 Samba – while this was a decade old by the time the hippie movement really started swinging, it’s still the vehicle that most people associate with adventures on the road to Woodstock.
