| So here's my question, my bus was built on Aug. 9 of 1960. It has a lot of features similar to the 59' I had but this is titled as a 61'. When exactly did VW start the new model year? This one even came with the clear needle 80 mph speedo. |

This thread goes into some detail, and some petty disagreement on model year versus production dates.
I think your bus is a 61. Enjoy it as such. |

August 9th, 1960 would be a 1961 model but as an "early 61" it would basically be the same as a (late) 1960 model. Plastic front inner door handles, 1960 style seat, and so on.
My '61 Double Cab was built August 11th, 1960 so it's the same way. |
