Lots of hippies were in-country.

But, ya......a minivan?:yikes:

 

The "Hippie" thing was a movement, a life style kind of thing and they were not actually the ones protesting. The anti-war types just dressed the same. Many vets went that route, tapping out, so to speak and living outside the main stream. Actually a "van' was their vehicle of choice.

This is very true. I learned the other day that the most dangerous thing on the road is a Nun driving a minivan (another story completely). If you think about it, the plate said "X-Hippie", so they upgraded to the minivan.

But VW vans are still around. How many Dodge Caravans do you think will be around in 40-50 years???

 

Yeah.........how does it go....."13 long haired friends of Jesus in a chartruse(sp?) micro bus":lol:

Back in the late 60's, I had a "69" beetle, but always wanted one of these.

I don't think I'd take that to the Dragon, MM. :frown2:

Ahhhh....
Why not? I could sleep way in the back, that way I wouldn't need to pay for a room at the Fontana.

 

Whilst in Africa, and in the service, in the early '70s along with our Mini's and Ducati's and Moto Guzzi's we had as our common use vehicle (re. party vehicle and motocross vehicle) an orange VW bus.

But I can't remember the year.

I do remember that the front windshield was actually 2 windows and that they were hinged on the top so you could open them to, um, well, to, well, so you could like allow different air in. Yeah. Different air. Whew.

My son-in-law drove a late 60's VW bus over the Dragon years ago, chasing the Gratefull Dead around.

My first car was a 58 VW bug, nice little old lady paid me to take it away
