Introduced at the 1961 Frankfurt Motor Show, Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung (IAA), the Type 3 was marketed as the Volkswagen 1500 and later as the Volkswagen 1600 in three body styles: two-door Notchback, Fastback, and Variant, the latter being marketed as the 'Squareback' in the United States. The Type 3 expanded Volkswagen's product range beyond existing models - the Type 1 Beetle, Type 14 Karmann Ghia, Type 2 (Bus) - while retaining several of the Beetle's key engineering principles, including the air-cooled rear-engine, rear-wheel drive layout and all-round torsion bar suspension on a shared 2,400 mm wheelbase. The concept of the Type 3 was to be more of a family car than the Beetle, offering increased passenger and luggage space and a larger engine.
