Just saw the "prequel" to the "Sopranos" on the theater big screen "The Many Saints of Newark" and there's a pre-1964 painted Cumulus White over Sea Blue Kombi that meets a flaming end during a street ambush shoot-out. It looks like the driver was hit and the bus careens into a flaming car. Couldn't find any screen grabs of the scene on the 'net....but a 'stunt bus' in that great Hollywood tradition goes out in a blaze of glory...

1987 American TV show McGyver, season 2, episode 22 named "For Love or Money". MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson) and a female agent he despises (actress Deborah Adair) are sent to Czechoslovakia, posing as a married couple to infiltrate a psychiatric hospital there to free a human rights activist. The agent receives a neglected Citroen 2CV from her local contact as her transportation, and drops off MacGyver at the hospital. The single-cab pickup is carrying supplies for the hospital. Appears to have large round "trailer" taillamps. MacGyver is about to walk up the stairs to improvise his access to the activist. The black "stick" at right is the windshield wiper as seen from inside the 2CV.

Red early Splittie van parked seen behind Ofcrs Malloy and Reed (Martin Milner, Kent McCord) in Adam-12 "Log 56: Vice Versa" S3E23, 1971.
