The DAF 600 was the company's first production passenger car and was in production from 1959 through 1963. It was a small family car first introduced at the Amsterdam Motor Show in February 1958. It had an innovative DAF Variometic, a continuously variable transmission (CVT) system. The Variomatic system was the work of Dr. Hub van Doorne (van Doorne's Automobielfabriek - DAF) and was infinitely variable in its ratios, and there were no noticeable gear changes. Depending on the speed, the pulleys in the transmission expanded and contracted. The first examples were delivered to customers in 1959 and came equipped with a 600cc DAF-designed air-cooled twin-cylinder engine.
