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".

[@akbarshoed]

Very useful. Thanks

[@andrefiset3569]

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.

[@KombiGarage]

Good information, thank you. So there seems to be a Type 8 used during the war. I can see that the Kommandeurswagen is a Type 87 and the Kubelwagen is a Type 82, and went under other type numbers as well.

Cool. Now go over the Mk.

[@KombiGarage]

🙂 my brain is still in a spin from Types

[@johnsaikaly]

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?

[@KombiGarage]

Hi John, my understanding is that the Type 14 Karmann Ghia with the automatic transmission began in 1960 and continued through to 1974. To get the exact year, we can work that out from the chassis number, located under the rear seat on the tunnel 👍

[@johnsaikaly]

So my car could be a 1965 as it says on the registration, even though it’s an automatic

Like trying to purchase a train ticket at Munich station , ridiculously overKOMPLIKATED

[@TheRealJoeMama1]

Why do you think this requires 'music'?

[@damon0099]

joe you forgot type 4's

[@KombiGarage]

👀 Oh dear, will need to do a special on that!

One of the most intriguing cars ever. We can hint the 80's style in the headlights with 30's technology. In 1973...
