 The 44 featured a completely new design aesthetically as well as mechanically, but was of the same layout as the "A type's" (the 600, 750, 30, 31, 32 and 33), with the main difference being its two cylinder engine, and its full swingaxle rear axle design as opposed to the A type semi trailing arms.The 1968 DAF 55 carried a bigger water cooled OHV four cylinder engine derived from the Renault 8 Cleon engine.Its body design was altered from the 44 by a new front which accommodated the longer engine and radiator, bigger taillights, and a more plush interior.
