The Volkswagen Type 3 is a compact car that was manufactured and
marketed by Volkswagen from 1961 to 1973. Introduced at the 1961
Frankfurt Motor Show, Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung (IAA),
Type 3 was marketed as the Volkswagen 1500 and later as the
Volkswagen 1600, in three body styles: two-door Notchback,
Fastback, and Variant, the latter marketed as the 'Squareback' in
the United States. The Type 3 diversified Volkswagen's product
range beyond the existing models - the Type 1 Beetles, Type 14
Karmann Ghia, Type 2 vans, and pickups - while retaining several of
the Beetle's key engineering features - notably the air-cooled
rear-engine, rear-wheel drive train, a body bolted tightly to a
platform chassis (integrating a backbone chassis into the car's
floorplan) of the same 2.40 m (94 in) wheelbase, as well as
all-round torsion bar suspension. The concept of the Type 3 was to
be more of a family car than the Beetle, offering more passenger
and luggage space, via about 15 cm (6 in) longer (overhang) and
slightly wider, modern slab-sided bodies, as well as fitting a
larger engine.
