Tuesday Treasures

I've been hoping to join in with Tom (The Backroads Traveller) for his new meme:  Tuesday's Treasures for a few weeks now but just haven't managed until today.

I just have one photo today and I'm not sure what year or make this Van is but it does seem to be fairly old and I'm sure it's a "treasure" to whoever it belongs to.  Plus I think it's pretty cool looking myself.  I spotted it while out walking one afternoon and just had to take a picture of it.


Please check out the other "treasures" by visiting Tom's blog and clicking on the participants entries.  -  Have a great day!

  2. First off, I'll a guess that this is a '78, I just saw one in a darker blue last Saturday. There are a bunch of VWs here on Maui. Well you indeed found a treasure Ida. Thanks for joining in this week and return real soon.

  3. I would give my right arm to have this. Just love the light blue. It looks to be in fine condition. They were the most wonderful campers. I had several friends with them but no longer Thanks for your blast from the past.

  8. Now if we saw that in Eugene it would be covered with bumperstickers and have flowers painted on it, just like it was still the 1960s.

  10. Is there anything more classic than an old VW van?

  11. I think it looks like an old Volkswagen bus perhaps T4 or T5 but I'm not a specialist.
    Great shot.

  12. I don't know the year either, but I do know when we were first married a friend of ours had one and we thought about buying one.

  14. That is neat looking van! I used to dream as a child that I would one day own, and live in one band travel the world. I think I may have gotten my ideas from Scooby Dao.
    Have a happy Wednesday Ida!

  15. I love it! Pretty color. Makes me long for a road trip. It looks like an older model Vanagan which came out after the original bus. Wish we still had our first VW bus. Let's see... maybe about 40 years ago. Fixed it up very nice inside and drove it everywhere travelling. Then our son had one about 20 years ago. As old as our old one, I think. He travelled all over with a friend and had some adventures. The bus never gave him a bit of trouble. They're very valuable now. What nostalgia!

  17. I can remember going camping in a van much like that one... except it was more pea soup green. LOL
    This shot would look so fantastic with a vintage filter too!

  22. I like the old vans like that too. They make me think of being out on the road with no particular place to go, just exploring. :-) Thank you so much for visiting my new blog.
