Popular and familiar DAF cars
DAF 33. A direct descendent of the original DAF 600/750. Very popular during the late 1960s and early 70s in the UK.
DAF 44. Slightly larger body designed by the Italian Michelotti. The engine was an 850cc version of DAF's twin-cylinder air cooled
DAF 55. Same body as the 44 but now using Renault's 1108cc 4-cylinder water cooled engine, mated to DAF's Variomatic transmission.
DAF 66. A development of the 55. Minor redesign to front end but main difference was to the rear suspension, using a de-dion axle arrangement.
DAF 66 coupé. DAF 55 and 66 models were also offered in a very attractive coupé version.
Volvo 66. Based on the DAF 66, the main difference was the fitting of larger bumpers and a revised gear selector lever and mechanism. Now ever rarer than some DAFs.
