Daf 55 Coupé Rally The 55 was a very important model for DAF. It was hoped that a DAF with a water-cooled Renault engine (four cylinders and 1108 cc) would give the brand a more mature image. The car had more or less the same body designed by Giovanni Michelotti as the Daf 44, but with a larger front (now required for the radiator) and larger rear lights. The car was slightly modified in 1969; this newer version is known as the second type. The 55 was succeeded by the 66 in 1972. The 66 made the car more individual and more recognisable. The 55 sedan got a prettier baby sister in 1968, the DAF 55 Coupé. Technically they were the same models. The Combi was introduced later that year, a station wagon. Because of the successes at for example the London-Sydney Marathon, a tune-up set was released for the 55 with a different carburetor, camshaft and modified suspension, complemented by alloy wheels, tachometer, sports steering and another exhaust in order to underline its sporty character.
