The 21-window Deluxe — the most collectible Volkswagen bus ever built, and the one now selling for more than the cars it used to carry surfboards for.

Handcrafted at 1:18 scale on an iron frame with rolling metal wheels, hand-painted in two-tone with the full complement of windows and the split windscreen.

  • Metal wheels that roll
  • Two-tone hand-painted finish with decal insignia

The van

Volkswagen's Type 2 began as a sketch by a Dutch importer who saw workers at the Wolfsburg factory moving parts on a flatbed built from Beetle running gear and asked why they didn't sell it. The Deluxe — with skylight windows, a folding sunroof and chrome trim — was the top of the range. Split-window buses ended production in 1967, which is why that year matters to collectors.
