[Dave VWbus]

Hi, I recently acquired an early 1960's VW Bus. No prior experience with them.
the tag on the engine compartment is quite rusty but has the following information
legible. Can someone help me interpret what I have?

VW 2/21
1860
950

# stamped into chasis: 415785

I would greatly appreciate any help!
Thank you!

Hi Dave, I spent most of my life working on das Volkswagon. The serial # 415 just indicates a Bus.
The Engine numbers, as far as I know, are just Serial numbers... Perhaps someone from the factory
will know a little more...
