      Why are these called 21 windows?

      Great question! Thanks for asking.

      This is a pretty rare model of VW Bus. It has extra windows along the top and the front windscreen is split (all pre-1967 buses had split windscreens). So, it really is just a reference to the number of windows in the vehicle. 8 on top, 10 on the sides, 1 in the back, and 2 in the front = 21. This is a top of the line bus and its rare to find these today.

      Actually this is a 23 window. The 21 window buses didn't start until 1964 when the rear hatch got larger.

      Great bus. It's a pre 55'. I've never seen bumper over riders like that .EVER. Another great vw I wish I had!

      @illtakeyourphoto! - Good catch... this is a 23-window... The rear window is not one piece, but three pieces. You just can't see it in this picture.
