With the North American ID. Buzz set to debut, Volkswagen’s original microbus was celebrated at a premier event in the collector-car world. The Amelia Concours d’Elegance, now in its 28th year and held on Sunday, March 5th, featured a special Transporter class that showcased the eclectic appeal of the iconic Type 2 Transporter. The winner of the Best in Class award for Volkswagen Transporters was a 1951 Volkswagen Deluxe 15-Window Transporter owned by Joe Mond of Dubuque, IA. Along with Volkswagen’s all-electric compact SUV, the ID.4, the Type 2’s electrified successor, the ID. Buzz, also made an appearance at the event to signal that the debut of its longer wheelbase North American version will happen in California this summer.
