What was the name of that movie with one of those buses in it a while back, location was up in northern AZ? Sunchasers I guess is the name of the movie. Here is the bus, and it is for sale again. I want it! 8)

Not sure if we’re including tv shows in here.

Paul Hollywood of Great British Bake-off fame has a new show called Paul Hollywood’s Big Continental Road Trip, where he travels to different car manufacturing countries in Europe. Kind of like Anthony Bourdain, but instead of food it’s cars.

Second episode is Germany and he drives around in a late Bay Westfalia.

I thought I looked fairly closely, but failed to see the bay in that.

Now if you watch the Tragically Hip's tour film "Long time running" you'll want to pay attention ~1:14. :wink:

Damn, I was recalling splity moments...
1967 Wait Until Dark - Audry Hepburn
Villains use a bus by a payphone as headquarters.

Taking woodstock - Local kid (the hero) has the doors of perception opened by a hippy couple

and glad someone mentioned Fast Times...

There is a thread in the Split window section that covers split window buses in movies.
https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=166353

There is another one in the General section that covers VWs in films, TV and others too.
https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=29125

If anyone else knows of any others in other sections like Ghia or type 3s post it up. Shoot, It took me a while to find this thread. I was going to post the Ballpark commercial that TDCTDI posted on the previous page.

Not bad. It was interesting to find out that 77,000 people live in around Wolfsburg and 66,000 of them work for Volkswagen. It seems Everything in the town is Volkswagen themed, even the sausages.

Austin to Boston, a film about four bands in five bay window buses.

At least four different busses, most of them Early Bays, one of which a camper in "The three days of Condor" (1975), with Robert Redford.

There are a few Beetles in there too, but I'll let the Beetle folk take their own screenshots ;)

TV show Engineering Catastrophes on the Science Channel is about a guy who has his office in his bus as he goes around the world explaining how, why and what happened in different disasters. In one episode he used a split window bus in a cartoon style diagram to explain how road noise travels and is increases next to buildings.
