Last year at Kelly's Island Kirk said to me... "You have a Beetle and a Bay window bus, when are you going to get a Split window bus? That's the natural progression of an air cooled VW collector you know." I think I replied with "probably when my divorce papers are finalized." Well, I am not divorced (yet ) but yesterday I became the unbelievably proud owner of a 58 std microbus. Thanks to Keith and Coco who are two of the nicest, warmest people I am lucky to have come to know and Sean for all his help and knowledge of split buses, I can now join the ranks of you split window owner's.

Living proof that you should not believe anything you read on the internet!

Congratulations Josh. It's a great bus. I enjoyed the ride home at 52mph in the right lane.

Keith and 'CoCo' are indeed great folks. I think everyone left happy.

I wish I would have been at your house when Amanda got home!

I've been behind that bus....and I KNOW it goes faster than that!
Maybe it's the driver??

Congrats to Josh and Amanda. I have always admired that bus, it is probably one of the nicest "survivor" buses you will find anywhere. .

Traitor.
I thought your daughter needed braces?

I can remember Keith leaving my single cab in the dust in that thing while caravaning from Strawberry Lake to Ipsi for the MVVC show.

Forget the kid..this is a 58! Just kidding, Hanna got her retainer on Thursday and gets to enjoy that for a few years and then gets the braces. I cashed in some stocks for that expense, insurance only covers half of it. Thank you for your concerns though Uncle Howie!

Josh, You are an inspiration! Congratulations!

And Amanda, well, she must just be an angel.

You are a lucky man any way you look at it!

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTT?????

He traded two for one???????????????????????

Hmmmm... I really appreciate split Busses, but.... I love all the POWER and LUXURY of my Bay-window....

I'm not so sure about Josh now!!!! (I guess he's still got the 71, but.....)
