Model his­tory

The VW Bee­tle, known inter­nally as Type 1 and based on a design by Prof. Dr. Fer­di­nand Porsche, had a deci­sive influ­ence on the motor­iza­tion of broad sec­tions of the pop­u­la­tion from 1946 onwards. It became a sym­bol of afford­able and reli­able mobil­ity. In 1972, the Bee­tle, with its sedan and con­vert­ible body styles, replaced the Ford Model T as the world's best-sell­ing car – a record it held until 2002, when it was sur­passed by its suc­ces­sor, the VW Golf. Pro­duc­tion in Ger­many ended in 1978, with the last con­vert­ible rolling off the assem­bly line at Kar­mann in Osnabrück in 1980. But the suc­cess­ful model lived on: the Bee­tle con­tin­ued to be built in South Amer­ica for many years. On July 30, 2003, the last of a total of 21,528,480 units pro­duced left the fac­tory in Puebla, Mex­ico.
