Alright you who make up the Old Farts club remember the days when this little beauty hit the scene. What memories these the “Bulli” bring back. GizMag wrote the best article giving some really cool background info on how one mans vision extended from a panel truck and became the VW camper known as the “Bulli”.
Well historical and memory lane buffs here’s your chance to see hundreds of these jewels in one place. Grab your peace sign necklaces and love beads dress in your paisley shirts bell bottoms and head to Hanover’s Hermesplatz for a long over due exhibition of memory invoking rides. Get what the big daddy o’s at VW has to say about the vehicle and the event.
“Scarcely any other vehicle evokes as many emotions as the VW Bulli. Back then it stood for new departures, economic success, independence as well as fun and travel. It is pleasant, reliable and a real cult vehicle. We want to establish the unrivalled legacy of our brand with the international VW Camper event and hope to revive the Bulli brand in the future” explains Stephan Schaller, spokesman for Brand Management, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles.
Right on Daddy O! Heck my 16 year old told me she wants a Bulli to be her first vehicle. Coincident or not I’ll never know. Catch the whole article it is great reading two thumbs up!
