March 1950 saw the debut of the Volkswagen Type 2 which took the much-loved Volkswagen Beetle as a base. An air-cooled 4-cylinder engine capable of 44hp was employed at the rear of the boxy yet curved body. One of the most popular among the wealth of its variations was the “Samba” microbus, which had a 23-window version encircled by windows and employing a canvas roof. It accommodated 9 adults and was notable for its flat floor and twin side doors. The Type 2 (T1) was produced until 1967, and ever since has enjoyed massive popularity the world over.
