What does the text in the ad say about ground power vehicles? Anything regarding the bus?
This is what the text reads about the ground power vehicle, GROUND POWER VEHICLES supply both pneumatic and electrical power for jet engine starting, ground airconditioning and other ground requirements where these types of power are needed. Air and electrical connections are located at the front of the vechicle allow the operator to drive forward into postion. The instrument and control panel are inside the cab, and the power unit is easily accessible through wide doors on both sides of the vehicle . Full sound attenuation reduces operationg sound level below 90 decibels at distance of 10 feet.

A number of the images above are from the early VW Bus brochures, most of which are on this site.

Here's another one:
This brochure has at least one image:

I was there in 95 with my old 64 bus. They didn't have much in there then. I guess it's pretty amazing now. I was just talking about that museum with long-roofs today.
