Historical Description of the Vehicle

The VW T1 Samba Bus, also known as "Bulli", is a true icon of German automotive history, widely used in Western Europe and the United States. First manufactured in 1950, this vehicle achieved worldwide fame, especially during youth movements and music festivals—such as Woodstock. The microbus was a versatile means of transport for families, businesses, and alternative communities alike.
