DAF proposes another updated version of its original design. Again Giovanni Michelotti has been hired to give a new face to the car, which now features a much less slanted bonnet than in the past. No modification is brought to either the engine or the peculiar Variomatic transmission of the basic model, but a more powerful “S” variant is introduced. Under this new guise, the DAF is known as the 32 Daffodil.
