I know that I am not alone here.

Is there an adapter that will work between the A1267 Cinema Display (USB A, Mini DV, MagSafe) and 2018 MBP (USB C)?

Thank you!

You would need to get something like:
https://www.amazon.com/ARKTEK-Thunderbolt-DisplayPort-Converter-Supports/dp/B072KS1HQ9

For my search, I used "usb-c to mini displayport adapter". You should look at the comments and questions to see people's experiences in connecting with the Cinema Display. There are some of these for this product.

The Cinema Display has USB2 so I wouldn't use the hub functionality unless you want to connect a keyboard and mouse off of the monitor - that would require another USB-C port. If you want to use only one USB-C port to connect the monitor and multiple USB ports, you'd have to get a hub that supports Mini DisplayPort and USB-A (presuming you have a USB-A keyboard/mouse).

This adapter works flawlessly, but I also added a https://www.amazon.com/Syntech-Adap...&sr=8-4&keywords=syntech+usb-c+to+usb+adapter which gave me full functionality. To restate my needs, I have a USB A, Mini DV, MagSafe attached to a Apple A1267 Cinema Display. Now I am going to try a Magsafe to USB C to see if that eliminates the need for the MBP power cord, as you may recall the Apple A1267 Cinema Display powered earlier MBP.
