It s easy to understand why a muscle car or a Ferrari is cool - the big engine and cool body. But car culture is also influenced by television, rarity, or simply a generation growing up with a particular vehicle. The Volkswagen Bus is a perfect example of this because it s slow, not sporty-looking, yet it can cost a lot of money. 16 photos
The Bus is perhaps one of the least understood collectibles, right up there with bubble cars. You see them grabbing huge money at auctions, making it difficult to visualize why somebody wouldn t rather have a Ferrari or some 1960s Mustang.

It was in May of last year we first stumbled upon something extremely weird: a Volkswagen Bus so heavily modified it’s probably unique in the world. Back then, it was sitting inside a garage somewhere, waiting to be bought, looking all flashy and cute. Now, several months later, we get a chance of seeing it out in the open. 11 photos
Soon after we wrote our piece on the VW truck, it got sold for very close to $50,000. Because the current owner seems to have gotten tired of it, it’s up for grabs again, and thanks to this, we now get to enjoy it once more, this time out in the open (check the gallery for more).
Collin David Emerson
January 19, 2021
Collin David Emerson, 77, of Temperance, Mich., formerly of Brooklyn, Mich., died peacefully in his sleep and in his home, on January 13, 2021, following a long illness. Collin was born on May 1, 1943, in Addison, Mich., to Arlo and Elizabeth Emerson. When Collin was only two, his father Arlo was killed in action fighting the Nazis in Ardennes. The youngest of four children, he and his siblings were raised by their mother and grandmother, Violet Mellinger, in the quiet countryside outside of Brooklyn, Mich.
Collin spent his childhood fishing and hunting in the woods around his house, developing an abiding connection with nature and wildlife, and counting among his childhood pets everything from a fox to a brown bat.
