VW Celebrates The Bus' 60th Birthday

    Volkswagen held an official event to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Bus last weekend (5-7 October) in Hanover, Germany. The event attracted 71,000 visitors and a selection of over 5,000 Transporter vans and campers ranging from the original ‘split-screen’ T1 to today’s fifth-generation models. According to VW, van fans travelled from as far away as Australia, Portugal, Russia, The Ukraine, Denmark, Poland, the UK, France and Holland. The celebrations started with a convoy through Hanover from the VW factory to the showground hosting the event where there was a covered stage to honor vehicles nominated for special prizes, plus a display of 100 historic and unusual models and exhibits from the VW museum, including the original design sketch from 1947. -More pics after the jump
