	The Notchback (VW 1500 Sedan) was the model released first, and
that was for the 1962 model year.  This was followed several months later
by the Squareback (VW 1500 Variant).  Fastbacks (VW 1600TL) were first
produced in the fall of 1965 as 1966 model year cars.  This was also the
time of the "official" T3 introduction into the U.S. market, with only the
Fast- and Squarebacks being offered.
