About the Volkswagen Beetle
The Volkswagen Type 1,
or more commonly known as the Beetle or Bug, was produced from 1938 until 2003,
and is still one of the most beloved cars of all time. As a small economical
"People's Car" built to pre-war specifications, the Beetle simple design
proved to be extremely reliable, with its rear-mounted, air-cooled flat-four
engine and suspension system withstanding even combat conditions of WWII. Its
distinctive aerodynamic shape was the source of its now famous "Beetle" name,
and the round shape also inspired such monikers as "bubble" and "turtle" in
various countries around the world. Idolized in popular culture since the
1960's, the car has made numerous appearances in movies such as The Love Bug and
children all over the world will recognize the yellow Autobot 'Bubblebee' from
Transformers. The original Beetle was finally replaced by the New Beetle after
an amazing production run that spanned 65 years.
