Today in 1950, the first Volkswagen bus went into production. The concept for the iconic van was designed by Dutch businessmen Ben Pon, who distributed VW bugs in the Netherlands. He sketched out his idea when he saw a market for a van in 1947. In America, this VW officially known as the “Type 2” became synonymous with the counterculture movement and the hippies who would pack up everything in their VW vans and move out.
