Volkswagen Typ 2 T1b 1962 (7161)

            Manufacturer: Volkswagen AG (VAG), Wolfsburg - Germany
Type: Typ 2 Transporter T1b
Engine: 1192cc air-cooled four-cylinder boxer engine
Power: 30 bhp / 3.400 rpm
Speed: 80 km/h
Production time: 1950 - 1967
Production outlet: unknown
Curb weight: 1090 kg

Special: 
- While visiting the VW factory in 1947, Dutch car importer Ben Pon came up wîth the idea for the Bus (drawn on the back of his cigar box ☺) as we know it today.
- Officially launched on November 12, 1949, the Transporter line did not go on sale to the general public until March 1950.
- At first the T1a was only produced in the Wolfsburg plant, but from March 8, 1956 in a new plant in Hanover (VW-Werk Hannover). 
- German production stopped after the 1967 model year; however, the T1 still was made in in São Bernardo do Campo, Brazil until 1975.
- The varieties were huge, from Transporter, Camper, Delivery Van, Kombi, Microbus, Pick-Up, Ambulance, Ladder Truck, Police Vans, Buses etc.
- There is a four-speed transaxle transmission and four-wheel drum brakes.
- The Typ 2 T1a were among the first 'forward control' vans in which the driver was placed above the front roadwheels.
- Versions created until 1955 were known as the T1a. These versions are often called the 'Barndoor' versions due to their large rear engine cover.
- The T1b were produced from 1955 through 1963. These versions had a smaller engine cover and smaller, 15-inch wheels.
- The T1c was introduced in 1963 and produced until 1967. These versions had a wider rear door.
- The T1 was very popular in the USA: by 1964 was accounting for over 63% of all import vehicle sales.
