You can't have van weekend without a VW Kombi!

60s. Why is the woman on the left wearing a rubber dress though?

50s.
I love the Kombi. I went all round Europe in an old second-hand red-and-white one with no problems despite its age.
They stopped making them in 2012. This page shows some of the original ground-breaking 50s ads, and some new ones at the end celebrating their 60 years, e.g. "It's unusual to drive the vehicle you were conceived in", "It belonged to a Trotskyist, a Maoist, a Democrat, and a Republican without ever changing owners", the German police one, and the psychedelic one at the end.
