It’s so sad to say goodbye, but that’s what we have to do with the iconic VW Bus.
According to NPR, “Brazil is the last place in the world still producing the iconic vehicle, or ‘bus’ as it’s known by aficionados, but VW says production will end Dec. 31. Safety regulations mandate that every vehicle in Brazil must have air bags and anti-lock braking systems starting in 2014, and the company says it cannot change production to meet the law.”
And while we may have to bid adieu to seeing new VW Bus vans on the road, we can certainly see them on our holiday trees, thanks to our Van With Packages Ornament.
