  Volkswagen Type 4 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Type 3 and Type 4 were the last of VW's air-cooled models and preceded the massively successful Golf/Rabbit.
The Type 4 was reputedly a favorite project of Volkswagen head Heinz Nordhoff, who felt that the larger vehicle would be attractive to families in North America.
While the Type 4 was discontinued in 1974, the Type 4 engine became the power plant for Volkswagen Type 2s produced from 1972 to 1979, and continued in modified form in the Volkswagen Vanagon (air-cooled from 1980 through mid-1983, and water-cooled from late 1983 through 1991).
