I recently bought a 1964 VW Bus that has a hippy past. This was on the the window and i would love to find out what it is. If you have any thoughts on what it is let me know. Thanks.

Cactus, exact species yet to be determined, but think mescaline related.

Could well be Peyote, the divine cactus. A Shamanic teacher plant, due to its hallucagenic qualities.

It's a mould growing on the side of your VW.

From Wikipedia:
"The effective dose for mescaline is about 300 to 500 mg (equivalent to roughly 5 grams of dried peyote) and the effects last about 10 to 12 hours. When combined with appropriate set and setting, peyote is reported to trigger states of deep introspection and insight that have been described as being of a metaphysical or spiritual nature. At times, these can be accompanied by rich visual or auditory effects (see synesthesia). Unless one is embarking on the experience in a ceremonial context conducted by a "Peyotero" with much experience, similar to a shaman or medicine man, it is recommended, for safety reasons, that the user be accompanied at all times by someone who is not likewise intoxicated. This person is referred to by some as a "guide" or "trip sitter". In spite of this, a person who wants to undergo such an experience must observe two points to guarantee a mentally healthy trip: set and setting, i.e., the state of mind and the situation one is living at the session."

That plant is almost certainly a stylized image of Agave (aka "Century Plant"), the succulent from which the alcoholic beverages tequila and mezcal are distilled.
 Here's one in bloom:  |

I vote for agave, too! Though aloe is close, there's something about it that looks definitively agave. Here's what Wikipedia says about Agaves

| Thanks everyone for the ideas the last owner only had it a couple months then had to get rid of it for another Bus he got. He talked to the original owner but all its hippy past is from the second owner who we cant seam to track down. Now that you say it I do think it looks like aloe thanks. |
