Description
The Volkswagen Drag Bus is one of the hottest surprise castings to ever come out of Mattel's factory. Whether you love it or hate it, it turned into a collectors #1 favorite. The Volkswagen Drag Bus designed by Phil Riehlman has his initials, PR, cast into the bottom of the rear differential. This casting when released was the heaviest casting Mattel made, and the most popular.
There is also a modified casting called Volkswagen 21-Window Drag Bus.
