Volkswagen introduced the Type 3 at the 1961 Frankfurt Motor Show and was marketed as the Volkswagen 1500, later becoming the Volkswagen 1600. It was available in three body styles including a two-door Notchback, station wagon, and a fastback. The station wagon was later marketed as the 'Squareback.'
