"VW Fact #42: In May, 1959, the split case transmission was sunset in favor of a one-piece transmission casing. "

The first tunnel case trans appeared in 61 model year Beetles. This would place its introduction around Aug '60.
Is that for Busses????

Follow-up:
I corrected the wording of the fact and added a new one for the VW Beetle.

Thanks for the information and heads-up.

VW Fact #47: In March, 1950, Transporter sales began for the Panelvan only.

I thought fact #47 was : The Kombi was introduced to the market in May of 1950.

Updated some facts? or is there two #47's Wink

Ummm, the numbers are not consistent, especially since I just added the new Bug fact mentioned above right in the middle of the list!

Actually, I've found a really cool website devoted to the Chevy S10 series trucks. It comes close to The Samba, but no cigar. I prefer the layout of this site to many others I have found. The S10 people are very helpful and knowledgeable when compared to the retards in the 16 - 23 year old age bracket on the Cavalier site Dancing
