The DAF 55 is a small family car produced by the Dutch company DAF from December 1967 to September 1972. At that time it was replaced with the DAF 66.[2]
All 55s featured the unique Variomatic belt-driven continuously variable transmission,[3] with no manual transmission available. This feature of all DAF cars was very unusual for its class at the time.
The 55 was available as a 2-door saloon, a 3-door estate, and a 2-door coupé.
In total 164,231 DAF 55s were built.[4]
