VW Kombi Van Seeing Resurgence in Popularity

The Volkswagen Kombi van reached iconic status, with even a school lunch box fashioned in its image. During those early years, the Volkswagen Microbus morphed into various forms. From a cargo carrier with no windows behind the driver's seat to a windowed passenger van with three rows of seats, the possibilities seemed endless.

Introduced at the 1954 New York International Motor Sport Show alongside the 300SL Gullwing the 190SL was inspired by U.S. Mercedes-Benz importer Max Hoffman. Similar in appearance to the 300SL yet less complex and costly the 190SL was a pure road car without racing pretensions. Featuring lightweight aluminum for the hood doors and rear decklid the 190SL was styled by Walter Hacker and his design team working under Mercedes-Benz design chief Karl Wilfert. Rigid monocoque construction roll-up windows and an available aluminum hardtop were other 190SL highlights. Among the 190SLs designers was Paul Bracq soon to become Mercedes head of design responsible for the celebrated 230/250/280 SL generations and 600 models yet to come. . Fritz Nallinger led 190SL engineering using robust and well-proven mechanicals sourced from the contemporary Ponton line with power delivered by a SOHC 1.9L four mounting twin Solex carburetors and producing 105 HP. Other highlights included a 4-speed manual gearbox fully independent suspension and four-wheel power-assisted Alfin drum brakes plus a snug folding top and roll-up windows. Internally designated W121 the production 190SL debuted at Geneva in 1955. An immediate success the 190SL earned design awards in Holland Switzerland and at Frances Grand Prix dElegance. Limited competition use albeit with quiet factory support included overall victory ahead of a Ferrari Mondial at the 1956 Macao Grand Prix and a class win at Casablanca.
