The shot from behind...the Busses are so fun...if you have never experienced a sunroof deluxe Microbus
you are really missing something. It is no wonder they are so highly prized.

Nice and smooth down the side...it takes a lot of work to get the the reflection like this.


In closing...the Bus is a nice clean example that has a classic look and is quite appealing.
