I had a full-length rack like that on my 1961 panel van, a guy came and leaned on me to sell the vehicle to him, so I let the rack go just to get him to go away.

This example is nicely optioned, with a spotlight for the shotgun seat, Raders and the rubber bumper inserts (center wrapped with rope).

I had a 1960 13-window with the walkthrough. When my son was born, we put a bicycle child seat in the walkthrough so his eye-level was the same as the grownups. These days I'd look for a clean Vanagon. More body width and A-arm front suspension. On the streets around here the Westphalia campers have outlasted everything else from their era.

Man VWs buses and beetles both photograph well! Old ones far more than anything new too. Sounds like you had a really nice bus! Hope you got what you wanted out of it.
