The Mercedes Benz L319D 🚐, which operated as a commercial van in post-war Germany 🇩🇪 in the mid-1960s, laid the foundation for the contemporary Sprinter van we know today. This 1962 ✌️ camper van by Westfalia is the OG conversion van. Powered by a 1.8-liter diesel inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transmission, it features a lavatory 🚽 and a kitchenette 🍽️ with a refrigerator 🧊. After living in a van for a month during a recent road-trip across California 🌴 I was blow away by the amenities packaged into this classic. 😮
