1971 Volkswagen T2 Microbus (Little Miss Sunshine)
The 1971 Volkswagen Type 2 Microbus was prominently featured in the critically acclaimed 2006 film Little Miss Sunshine. Of course, the van itself was an iconic part of automotive history. Who could forget the era when these vans were everywhere? Volkswagen designed the Microbus to be the kind of vehicle that you could transport people with or live in. Every inch of the van was unique in its design and it became an iconic piece of automotive history (via Hemmings).
In Little Miss Sunshine, the yellow VW bus serves as the vehicle for the Hoover family’s road trip from New Mexico to California. In real life these vans were used for driving across the country as well, hence why they were called “love” buses by their owners.
