The 1989 Volkswagen Vanagon, part of the second generation produced from 1980-1991, exemplified classic VW versatility. Distinctive with its boxy appearance, the Vanagon was available with rear-wheel drive and was powered by a 2.1-L water-cooled four-cylinder engine that produced 95 horsepower, paired with either a four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission. The Vanagon could be had in a passenger-friendly Multivan configuration or as the more adventure-ready Westfalia Camper, which included features like a pop-up roof, refrigerator, and sink. Inside, the simplicity in design was a highpoint, with functional and durable materials. Despite the modest power output, the Vanagon was praised for open-road cruising, aided by its balanced weight distribution and size.
