Brief History
The Volkswagen Beetle, first produced in 1945 as the "People’s Car," quickly became an iconic global favorite. Known by many names worldwide—Käfer, Vocho, Coccinelle, Fusca, Maggiolino—this model sold over 21.5 million first-generation units, making it one of the most popular cars ever built. Celebrated for its innovative, air-cooled engine, the Beetle was affordable, easy to maintain, and practical. It became a symbol of freedom and individuality and played a significant role in U.S. counterculture. Volkswagen retired the Beetle in 2019, marking 70 years since its introduction to the American market.
