| Beautiful, just beautiful. |
I don't know all that much about VW Beetles, but I know some stuff. I think that my favorite bugs are the oldest and the newest ones. The oldest was in the late 30's, it was, basically the same shape as the other old ones, but it had NO rear window, and suicide doors. The oldest Bug is something that I haven't seen, and if I ever did, I'd never forget it. I also like the newer ones. I can't wait until the new RSI come out. Sometime in the future. | ||||||||||||||||

Volkswagen = peoples car. When VWs' were first thought up, nobody wanted to put any effort into making them. The people thought that they wouldn't make any money (selling cars to the working class). Usually cars were for the more rich people in the 30s'. Then in the late 1930s' Hitler and the Nazis' created their own factory to manufacture these little cars. Then, soon after, the VW Beetle was produced and sold to the working people, becoming the most popular car ever. | The Volkswagen Beetle : A car for the working people. | ||||||||||||||||
