Model history

The Volkswagen Beetle, originally designed by Ferdinand Porsche, made its debut in 1938. After the Second World War, he gained worldwide fame. Its distinctive appearance and reliability made it a symbol of mass motorization. In the 1950s and 1960s, the Beetle became a cult car and stood for freedom. Various variants were developed, including convertibles and station wagons. In 1960, production reached 15 million vehicles. In the 1970s, the Beetle lost its luster, but was revived in a modernized form at the end of the 1990s. In 2003, the era of the Beetle ended in Mexico, but it remains an unforgettable chapter in automotive history.
