Let’s start with Fluffy’s favorite car which is also his first car - the 1968 VW Bay Window. At the age of 17, Gabriel received the bus as a gift from his brother which at the time cost only $400. Since that day, it has become his favorite one.

The VW Bay Window has a gray-white color scheme with a full shield window, unlike his other VW buses. The interior has been upgraded with smaller seats to ensure better comfort for Iglesias.

Iglesias bought the 1967 Camper from a guy in Germany who originally bought it from someone in California - a great back-and-forth journey we guess.

Fluffy’s Westfalia Camper got some modifications and the most notable is its two-tone gray-white color scheme very much in the vein of the Bentley colors giving it a much more classic and stylish appearance. Other amenities like a single bed, wood cabinets, and curtains make it a perfect camper bus for Fluffy.

The biggest difference between the 50s and 60s VW bus is their turn signal lights. The '60s model has it spike-shaped while the 50s model is rather flat kind of like an egg.
