As seen in the music video, "The Tide Is High," by Blondie (1980). It appears to be a '68 or '69 Westfalia, possibly a Riviera.

Been watching My Name is Earl occasionally when bored or just need to zone out a bit. As I've spent the past several days moving, That is definitely something I needed this evening.

Spotted a Bay in an episode I was watching today. It is a '73+ model but that is about all you can see.

Later, an off-duty cop about arrests Earl, and was going to stuff Earl into his personal vehicle, which happened to be a Beetle!

At least one more My Name is Earl and Bay Window Bus connection: Rich Parker told me about how he and his family were on a road trip camping in his Bay when they met Jason Lee and he thought the Bus was pretty cool, and as I recall took a pic of the Bus for a book.

I think someone involved in My Name is Earl must have been a VW fan. This early Bay Westy showed up in an episode tonight. Darnell and Joy were driving it during a plot to help Earl escape from prison.

I'm really surprised no one here talks about the Bay in movie Secret Headquarters with Owen Wilson out the last year

was a fun teen hero flick.. good for if you have kids or kid at heart.
movie even has a 1st screen scene introduction of the New VW ID Buzz...
but I won't bother you Bay guys with that...

Spotted another Bay in My Name is Earl. Also a Westy tent in the scene too.

Must have been a VW fan involved in the production.

How do you know it's a '72 and not a '71? US-spec '72 still had rounded bumpers but also had a small flare for the front fenders that the '71 did not have. I don't see a flare in this photo but the Bay is not in focus.

Dual cab Bay window pickup at left waiting for the ferry, movie "Shoot to Kill" (1988). Main character played by Sidney Poitier in foreground.
