Large rear window is launched in August 1957 (from chassis n°1.600.440) according to my documentation (Votre auto N°12 Juillet/Aout 2000 - Volkswagen Coccinelle Part 1 - 1945-1967), that would make a 1957 Year Model (*).

(*) Indeed, it depends on the definition of YM.
Generally in that era:
Vehicle built < 1er september of year Y ==> YM = Y
Vehicle built > 1er september of year Y ==> YM = Y+1

But this rule may be different for some years later: date of changement shift from 1st of September to 1st of July
