The Samba (or panorama bus) was one of the most-loved models. It featured a canvas sunroof and windows all round, even in the roof. Early buses with the narrow tailgate (up to 1963) also had rear corner windows. These were known as 23-window buses (above). Later buses with the wide tailagte had two fewer windows (below). Still, two of them together have 52 windows! |
