Answer 2

Hippie Buses

Answer 3

They have a VW on the front. VW vans, or campers, or vanagans.

I had two when I was a hippy (yes, one of the originals). Both of them were two-tone, but blue and white, not green. My first one had a double bench and table which coverted to a bed, an ice box, sink and a closet. Yes, I lived in it for a while, very comfortably.

They used a car engine to drive a van, so they had a nasty habit of just dying from sheer overwork.

Answer 4

They are Volkswagon type 2 vans known in Australia as Kombi vans. In the US, they have a number of names including Hippy mobile or hippy bus.

The Volkswagen Type 2 was the second automotive line introduced by German automobile manufacturer Volkswagen. It was a van introduced in 1950, initially based on Volkswagen's first model, the Beetle, also known as the "Type 1". The Type 2 is generally considered to be the forerunner of modern cargo and passenger vans. The Type 2 spawned a number of imitators both in the United States and Europe including the Ford Econoline, Dodge A100 and the Chevrolet Corvan, the latter even adapting the Type 2's rear-engine configuration. Updated versions of this line are still being actively produced in international markets.

Interestingly, the official German-language model names Transporter and Kombi (Kombinationskraftwagen, "combined-use vehicle") have been incorporated into English and refer to delivery van . Kombi, however, is not only the name of the passenger variant, but is also the Australasian and Brazilian term for the whole Type 2 family in much the same way that they are all called VW-Bus in Germany, even the pickup truck variations. In Mexico, the German "Kombi" was 'translated' into "Combi", and became a household word given the vehicle's popularity in Mexico City's public transportation system. In Peru, where the term Combi was similarly adopted, the term Combi Asesina (Murdering Combi) is often used for buses of similar size, given the notorious recklessness and competition of Lima bus drivers to get passengers. The Portuguese people also have a particular name for it: they name it "Pão-de-Forma" (Breadloaf) because its design resembles a bread cooked on a form. Similarly, in Denmark, the Type 2 is referred to as "Rugbrød" (Rye bread).

The Australian band Men at Work made the use of the Kombi name somewhat popular in other parts of the world by using it in the first line of their 1981 hit record Down Under: "Travelling in a fried-out Kombi On a hippy trail head full of zombie..".

In America, however, it is a VW bus, a "vee-dub," a hippie mobile, hippie bus, or hippie van, and a "combie", Microbus or a transporter to aficionados. The early versions produced before 1967 used a split front windshield (giving rise to the nickname "Splitty"), and their comparitve rarity has led to their becoming sought after by collectors and enthusasts. In the 1976 country hit "Convoy" by C. W. McCall, it talks about "11 long-haired friends of Jesus in a chartreuse microbus".
