1:50 1963 Volkswagen Type 2

Product Dimensions: 3.37 x 1.35 x 1.53 in.

Model History and Information: The split-windscreen Volkswagen Type 2 was built from March 1950 until the end of the 1967 model year, first at Wolfsburg and, from 1956, at the dedicated Transporter factory in Hanover. For 1963 the engine grew to 1493 cc for 51 horsepower and the gearbox received revised ratios. The following model year brought a larger tailgate and bigger rear window; because the wider opening left no room on the rear pillars, Samba versions lost their rear corner windows and dropped from twenty-three to twenty-one roof and side panes. Panel vans, pick-ups and microbuses on this platform were a familiar sight in delivery fleets of the period.
