Description
In February 1950, Volkswagen's then chief executive,
Heinrich Nordhoff,
introduced a useful transporter called Type 2.
The Type 2, which was created by combining the Beetle's suspension and box-shaped body,
was the second best-selling model after the Beetle.
The Type 2 started in March 1950 as a commercial vehicle called the Delivery Van, and
since then various variations and models have been added.
The pickup, which has a cargo bed behind the driver's seat,
features a raised floor and a completely flat cargo bed, and
there is a locker with a floor area of approximately 2 square meters under the cargo bed, which
was useful as a convenient storage space.
The first Type 2, produced from 1950 to 1966, remains a popular model thanks to
its two-piece front window and
a wide variety of body variations .
