“Commonly associated with hippies, the lifespan of the Microbus was 63 years. For several decades, Brazil specialized in making the boxy vehicle, however the design element, which gave the van the classic shape, put the driver ahead of the front axle.  And that is now a major problem, as the country recently outlined new safety requirements which will be put into effect next year. Sadly, the Microbus can’t be modified to meet the new rules.  The proper term for the Microbus is the Kombi or Type 2 model, but it also received some nicknames over time. It was called the Minibus, Hippiemobile, VW bus, Weekender and camper.”
