Model history

It runs. And runs. And runs. And runs. We can all still perfectly remember this VW advertisement for the Beetle. And it was an advertisement that didn't lie. In more ways than one. For one thing, the Beetle ran like the famous Swiss clockwork. Unreliable and inconspicuous, robust and virtually indestructible. Secondly, it was a bestseller in the VW range. Long after the Golf, Polo & Co. had conquered the roads. Even though the Beetle was already completely outdated at its premiere in 1938, the concept was already outdated. But the people loved their car. Because it was the first car that people could afford. And the first car is like the first love ...
