Volkswagen introduced the Type 2 in 1950. The first generation of the Type 2 is known as the T1. Based on the Type 1 Beetle, these early Type 2 vehicles featured the now classic design with the sloping trim lines and large chrome VW emblem on the front. The T1 Type 2 was offered in a variety of body styles and variants, including pickup trucks, panel vans, and camping vehicles, all of which featued a rear mounted engine. The most notable variants of the T1 Type 2 were the Samba and the Westfalia. While European production of the T1 ended in 1967, production continued until 1975 in Brazil. The T1 was replaced by the T2 Type 2.
