1973 Volkswagen Westfalia Bus California Rental Added in California

California Picture Cars has added the 1973 Volkswagen Westfalia Bus California to its roster through the USA Movie Cars network. The vehicle is located in Nevada City, California, and producers working on projects across the state now have another option when they need a period-correct Volkswagen camper for their shoots.

Spotlight on this 1973 Volkswagen Westfalia Bus California

This 1973 Volkswagen Westfalia Kombi carries the name Buster and appears in factory-correct Sumatra Green. The exterior shows gleaming chrome accents along with the signature pop-top roof and upgraded 15-inch wheels. Those details give the van strong visual presence for wide shots and road-trip style sequences that call for 1970s texture.

Inside, the rear layout remains open with the original sofa and cot still in place. The cabin offers a blank canvas for set dressing or prop placement while the side and rear doors can be opened for interior camera angles. The van is described as production-ready for static display or owner-operated driving scenes only.

California Picture Cars and the California Picture Car Market

California Picture Cars works with USA Movie Cars to connect productions with local vehicles in Nevada City, California and surrounding areas. The partnership lets crews search state-specific sites while still accessing a wider national inventory when a single location cannot supply every needed picture car.

USA Movie Cars maintains similar arrangements with other state picture-car sites so productions filming in California can focus on regional options first. Nevada City sits in a part of the state that sees both independent films and commercial work, making the addition of this Westfalia useful for crews already planning to shoot in the northern counties.

History of the 1973 Volkswagen Westfalia Bus California

The 1973 model year placed the Westfalia Kombi in the middle of the second-generation Type 2 production run. These vans became common on American roads during the 1970s and carried the pop-top roof that turned them into mobile living spaces for weekend travel and longer trips.

The Sumatra Green paint and chrome trim reflect the factory appearance many buyers chose at the time. The body style remained a three-door van configuration with the familiar forward engine placement and air-cooled powertrain that defined the model for that decade.

California Picture Car Rental Uses

Producers can place the van in period scenes set in the 1970s or use it as a character vehicle that suggests travel or a casual lifestyle. Its exterior works for establishing shots along California highways or as background texture in street scenes that need vintage vehicles.

Still photography and music video shoots can use the open interior for creative arrangements while the pop-top roof adds height and visual interest. Commercial and branded content projects often need a recognizable retro vehicle that reads as authentic without requiring further modification.
