Volkswagen MicroBus Hotwheels Style

I could have sworn that I used to have one of these as a toy back in my junior years. Looks great, doesn’t it? The Hotwheels themed Volkswagen Microbus turned up at the 60th anniversary of the Bus in Hannover, Germany in early October along with a selection of over 5,000 Transporter vans and campers ranging from the original ‘split-screen’ T1 to today’s fifth-generation models.

VW MicroBus Limousine

This 60’s MicroBus limousine made a special appearance at the VW Bus Exhibition in Hanover earlier this month (October 5 to 9) to celebrate the Microbus’ 60th anniversary. We don’t know any specific details about the MicroBus stretched limo but it certainly goes down as one heck of a cool car in our books. Can you imagine what it would be like owning a vehicle like the MicroBus limo in 70’s; totally orgylicious to say the least… -More images after the jump
