Brief History
The iconic Volkswagen Type 2, affectionately known as the “Combi” or “Kombi,” has a rich history. Introduced in 1950, it became a symbol of freedom, adventure, and counterculture. Here’s a glimpse into its past:
- Origins: Dutch Volkswagen importer Ben Pon conceptualized the T2 design, moving the driver to the front and creating an elongated storage space at the back.
- Evolution: From the split-windshield vans of the 1950s to the beloved bay window models of the 1960s, the Combi evolved. Its boxy charm transitioned to the rounder body shape we recognize today.
- Hippie Era: During the 1960s, the Combi became synonymous with the hippie movement, adorned with vibrant paintwork and carrying free spirits across the globe.
