GENERAL INFO
The first of all the Volkswagen vans was introduced in 1957. A fun fact about its boxes is that each of them has a different front and back.
Starting with the B2 box (size 2), it features different numbers on front and back, and the model front bumper is closer to the left end of the scroll on one side. This box was also made as a B3 sub-type.
The first couple of B4/B5 boxes reuse the same box, therefore the different sides are the same. The picture is however stretched to fit a size 3 box.
The last couple of B4/B5 boxes have the model very close to the left end of scroll on one side. The numbers are further from the scroll than the first couple of B4/B5 boxes.
The C box essentially reuses the last B4/B5 major variation.
RARITY
The C box is less common for this model.
