Volkswagen Beetle Fun Facts The Volkswagen Type 1, more commonly known as the Beetle, is an economy car produced by the German automaker Volkswagen from 1938 until present. Although the names "Beetle" and "Bug" were quickly adopted by the public, it was not until August of 1967 that VW themselves began using the name Beetle in marketing materials. It had previously been known only as either the "Type I" or as the 1200 (twelve-hundred), 1300 thirteen-hundred) or 1500 (fifteen-hundred), which had been the names under which the vehicle was marketed in Europe prior to 1967; the numbers denoted the vehicle's engine size in cubic centimeters. In 1998, many years after the original model had been dropped from the lineup in most of the world (it continued in Mexico and a handful of other countries until 2003) VW introduced the "New Beetle" (built on a Volkswagen Golf platform), bearing a cosmetic resemblance to the original. The Volkswagen Beetle was the first car to sell over a million units in a single year. HERBIE, the "car with feelings" in the 1968 movie "The Love Bug", was a 1963 ragtop Volkswagen Beetle. . >- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Beetle As with all of our auctions at THEBARNFIND.COM Please bid with confidence!!!
