Converted to a camper in 1954 by the first owner. Got a newspaper cutting about it when we bought it. Crashed into by some idiot woman 2 hours later.

I forgot this one - it was parked away from the working class for obvious reasons.

Another front view. I believe that's Raul Colletta checking it out in the picture.

I think this might've belonged to Tim Histand at the time. The event where I took these pictures was one of the old "Holbert's VW Octoberfest" shows at Holbert's VW in Warrington, PA. What's the deal with those headlights?

...now that you have the tent set-up and the coffee brewing, go ahead and put the middle seat back in, change the oil and adjust the valves...

This is the front turn signal on the 53 barndoor. It seems to have been added by the school system when they had this bus back in the day.

This is the front of the 53 barndoor. The turn signals on the front seem to have been added because this bus was used in the school system.

This is the driver door of the 53 barndoor. Makes me pissed I got rid of my 53 barndoor years ago when barndoors weren't so scarce.

This 53 was supposed to have been owned by a school dist. It has a different set of front turn signals and extra lights added to the back. Really decent shape but needs some rust repair and restoration.
