Classic VW Types explained

Classic VW Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, what are they? How do we distinguish a VW Beetle to a Karmann Ghia, Thing, and others? What is the difference between a Kombi and a Microbus? Is a T1 and T2 referring to Types? And what in the world is a Type 3?

I try and answer these questions and more in this research project I undertook, to help me understand the interesting and sometimes complicated world of Classic VW Types.

more than likely I have made errors or missed something, so if you have any further information, please comment 👍

1:29 The Type 147 was originally used by german Post and this Typ also named as "Fridolin".

No Kûbelwagen, it was produced in more quantity than the Schwimmwagen and is different to the Thing. There's also the Kommandeurswagen which is a 4WD Beetle produced during the war. Nice images indeed.

Maybe you can tell me what year did they make the type 14 Karma Ghia automatic because I have one but I’m not sure if the date is correct 1965 through 1969 what year could it be?

Why do you think this requires 'music'?
