[Contents] The Type 2 debuted in 1950, utilizing the Volkswagen Type 1's engine and suspension, and featuring a box body that could carry large loads or be used as a passenger bus. Hot Wheels has chosen the original Type 2, now known as the T1 (a combination of the initials "Transporter" and "1," for first generation), as its subject. It's highly sought after among classic car collectors, and features a sunroof, roof sides, and several oval, skylight-like windows, making it the "Samba Bus." While Hot Wheels has previously released several Type 2 models, this latest release is based on the 21-window car owned by American comedian Gabriel Iglesias, a well-known Type 2 collector. It features a low ride height, roof rack, and tiltable two-piece front windshield.
