Mercedes, Opel, and Tatra also built Kübelwagens. It's short for kübelsitzwagen, which means "bucket-seat car" basically.

The original VW prototype was the Type 62, which was renamed for production. There were almost three dozen variants tried on that chassis.

Thanks for the additional history. I debated putting that in the review, but chose not to. I'm glad you mentioned it.
