Brian--

There is a type 2 bus toy available in red and white at a store on Third
Avenue in the 60s (? I think) here in Manahattan. i can't think of the store
name right  now. It's like a kids store, but it sells maps and science type
things. It has these old split windshield busses in two sizes. One is about
the size of a regular plastic model, say 8-10 inches long. the smaller one is
about 3 or 4 inches long. They're pretty nice replicas, and I think they're
metal.

The store has the word "knowledge" in it's titile I think. Like "Store of
Knowledge". The name will come to me or I will pass it in the next few days.
P-mail me if you can't find it.

Also I have two matchbox buses probably from the 60s. Both are campers with
split windshields. And they are two differnt models. One is green and it says
Volkswagen Cavarette on the bottom. It has a see-through plastic sunroof on
the top. there is a table with bench seats facing it inside.

The other bus is silver with an orange interior, and is also a camper. It
says Volkswagen Camper on the bottom. (sorry, neither of mine are for sale)

Rocky Mountain Motor works (800) 258-1996 also has a bunch of buses in its
catalogue. (I'm still mad at them for selling me chinese front wheel
bearings. But the toy busses are cool.)

I don't know of any toy Vanagons.
Good Luck,
Jeff
