The CVT was used on DAF cars as far back as the late '50s.  A few of them
even made it to the US during the first wave of imports circa 1960 (remember
Wartburg, Borgward, Skoda, Hillman, Auto Union (now Audi), etc.?)  The DAF
sold here was called the DAFodil, and it used the CVT with rubber/leather
belts to transmit power.
