The Volkswagen Type 3 is a compact car that Volkswagen manufactured and marketed from 1961 to 1973. Introduced at the 1961 Frankfurt International Motor Show, it was sold as the Volkswagen 1500 and later the Volkswagen 1600 in two-door notchback, fastback and station wagon body styles, the last of them known as the Squareback in the United States. It used the Beetle's 94 inch wheelbase but was conceived as a larger car, with a larger engine and more cargo and passenger volume, helped by slab-sided Ponton styling. The 1600 cc D-Jetronic fuel injection engine was standard on every Type 3 sold in the United States for model years 1968 to 1973, and production ended in 1973 at the Wolfsburg plant, which was then retooled to build the Golf.
