21-Window Volkswagen Microbus

 We're not much moved by trailer queens, those meticulously restored and never-driven vehicles that turn up at high-end auctions and car shows. But at the sort of shows we have in Maine, most machines get their under their own power, and spend at least the summer months out on the roads and backroads.  We caught this bus a couple weeks back, at a little show in Falmouth. Lost my notes but I seem to remember this was an unrestored original, extraordinarily well-maintained. There are VW people out there who will know the exact year, but I'll guess somewhere 1964-66.
