63 Years Later, The VW Combi Is Ending Production

By Christian Moe on Tuesday, October 30th, 2012

You would be forgiven if you thought the iconic VW mini-bus had died many moons ago, but you have been living a lie. In the wild and crazy country of Brazil the VW Combi is still being manufactured.

Now after a long 63-year run, the bus will finally be meeting its demise. Thanks to new safety laws that will go into effect next year requiring all new cars to come equipped with dual front airbags an ABS brakes as standard, the Combi no longer meets safety regulations.

The current car looks a little different from our classic Minibus photo above, but the overall design is relatively unchanged ans we think the world will be little darker without the bus. To help cheer yourself up, check out the gallery of photos from VW’s portfolio below.
