Greenlight will serve up a Thanksgiving edition of the same Volkswagen Type 2 Panel Van. The van features harvest-inspired deco with falling leaves, a turkey, and a bountiful harvest. The Thanksgiving edition will roll into hobby shops in November.

This fall’s seasonal releases are a taste of more to come from Greenlight Collectibles as upcoming product listings show placeholders for New Year’s 2021, Chinese New Year (Year of the Ox), Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, and Easter editions of the popular Volkswagen Panel Van. Previous editions have been released in celebration of Independence Day, Dia de Los Muertos, Oktoberfest, and Mardi Gras.
