I wonder if you still remember the Volkswagen T1 camper van that has a very antique flavor? That Volkswagen T1 van is so classic and impressive.

Let’s review it together!

Volkswagen T1 In 1969, 16 kilometers northwest of Kingston, a town in New York State, USA, there was smoke and music everywhere.

On the traffic-clogged highway, strangers chatted casually, and the flow of people and cars were moving in the same direction. The center of the music was the temple in people's hearts at that time, the indestructible fortress of faith - Woodstock -

—by far the most famous music festival on the planet.

Camping In the context of the prosperous era of American society after the end of World War II, it was a time when the confusion, helplessness, and rebellion of the "Beat Generation" were rising.

At that time, young people advocated music, literature, poetry, painting, film and other art forms, using these as vehicles to express their rejection of monopoly capitalism, war expansion, social inequality, dogmatism and other secular stereotypes.

They are willing to wander around the world, using ragged clothes to rebel against suits, using emerging poetry to rebel against artificial clichés, and using guitar distortion to rebel against delicate love songs.

They came to the joyful venue of Woodstock with unprecedented enthusiasm and sang the strongest voice to change the era with "fraternity, peace and music".

It is not difficult to find a figure of the Volkswagen T1 van among the roads crowded with young people, cars and motorcycles, and on the lawn of the central venue of the music festival. It is a haven of joy for these enthusiastic young people, and it is the home of these young people.

, it is the Volkswagen T-type minibus, it is the Woodstock of the minibus world, perhaps one of the most famous minibus models on the planet.

Minibus T-type minibus originated from Volkswagen's T-type platform in the 1950s. The most famous one - and the protagonist of this article - is the T1, the first generation T-type minibus.

In fact, its full name is Volkswagen T1 Type2, and the latter Type2 is the internal model number. This may be named relative to the Beetle, which also comes from the T-type platform.

The Type 2 number continued until the T3 model, which was discontinued in 1992, while the subsequent T4 and T5 are named "Transporter" to this day.

T1 T1 is a model that cannot be more successful. It was produced from 1950 to 1967. During the 17-year long product cycle, there were countless extended models of T1, including a minibus with two rows of seats in the back, and a car with a dining table.

SUVs, vans with the rear seats removed, and even pickups with only the cockpit retained. Moms, dads, young people, delivery drivers, surfers... almost everyone has a good reason.

Perhaps it is for this reason that we chose Volkswagen T1. It followed the Beetle across the ocean from the European continent to the United States. In this land that advocates independence and freedom, T1 burst out with infinite vitality.

For music in the United States, compared to the so-called "golden age" in the 1950s after the war, I prefer to call the 1960s the "rainbow age". This period also coincided with the sexual liberation movement and the hippie movement in the United States.

A period when cultural events flourish.

During this period, literature, music, film and art forms began to become open, direct and colorful.

Being unconventional, unpretentious, and unconventional became everyone's life creed at that time. "Goodbye, Dad, I'm 18 years old, and I want to hang out with my friends" became the words that all the children were most looking forward to saying at that time.

When friends hang out together to "do art" and "play with creativity", they are actually just talking nonsense - without a relaxed mind and ample time, they cannot create good works - so they need a carrier. At this time

, which is also the best moment for Volkswagen T1 to appear.

Development History of Volkswagen T1 Woodstock, accompanied by hippies and sexual liberation, was also the most chaotic music festival on the planet.

When Jimi Hendrix strummed his white Fender Stratocaster guitar for the first time, the entire young world was immersed in a kaleidoscope.

They lifted the curtains in the T1 window, slowly opened the T1 door, and let the distorted guitars flow into the car and reverberate. Hallucinogens, marijuana, alcohol and sex made them feel that life was extremely wonderful, and the flashing lights of the stage also

It turns into a kaleidoscope-like shape and floats before your eyes.

Tonight before a goalless tomorrow, they kept sinking, searching for the seemingly pale meaning of life in their despondency.

Beetle Now it seems that from the 1960s to the mid-1970s, people were freed from the prison of war. It was a process for those extremely anti-war young people to re-examine themselves in the face of empty social values.

Although this period of history is a period of "revisionism" in American culture, it also gave young people a burst of impressive vitality and accumulated many unreplicable literary and artistic works and cultural wealth for us.
