Having never seeing a single one of these 70th Anniversary set I broke down and purchased the complete set. They arrived today.

I was very happy to find this over the weekend and as they say the price was right. $35.00. A 1962 VW Caravette No. 34 Camper Bus. It does have a small crack in the sunroof, but it’s not that noticeable. It can be seen it in the second pictures.

I had this toy as a kid in the 60’s and when I found out is was VW powered I had to pick one up. While I still have most of my Matchboxes from childhood this one went missing or was traded away for one of the new Hot Wheels cars that just came out in 1969.
