One of my sons has been working in Japan for the last year and saw this nice Early Bay in Osaka on his way to Kyoto with some friends.

Spotted this 1971? in Norwalk CA the other morning, it's too bad I wasn't in my '69 red/white bus, that would have been fun.

Closer to home, I also spotted an earlier bay, gray with white top (white on roof only), but didn't have time to get a photo.

Ran an errand 2 weeks ago and spotted this sweet doppleganger for Karl; this one's a walk-through tho.

Karl looked this good when I got him!

Really nice bus, whoever you are.

I meant to upload this 3 years ago. Late bay "14 window" that I ran across walking around El Gouna, Egypt. I saw a few bays zipping around Giza near the pyramids too, but no good pictures of them. All had their decklids wired open though!

Brazilian bay spotted at the Colombian Ice Fields between Jasper and Banff.
Didn’t meet the owners. Likely they were hiking around.
Long way from home

I'm not sure that this is from an Oregon roadway.
The mountain scape in the background appears to be Half Dome in Yosemite.

Here's the road trip feed.

It is Half Dome in Yosemite. That is the road to Glacier Point.

It looks like it was made from a Panel?
I think it had Mexican plates so maybe a VW of Mexico model.
Either way, it looked really nice and shiny.
