1976 VW Westfalia LT Como Camper 

 

The Volkswagen Westfalia LT Como Camper Model History

Circa 1976 the VW Westfalia LT Como model was introduced. At around the same time another less equipped model called the VW LT28 Westfalia Salzburg was also introduced. The Westfalia Como model was similar and replaced the earlier model known as the VW LT28 “Deluxe” model camper. The VW Westfalia “Como” was available in three configurations with either a top locker above the drivers cab or a fold out bed.
