Overview

The VW Beetle is probably the most popular people's car of all time. Designed by Ferdinand Porsche in the mid-1930s, with powerful support from Adolf Hitler, who wanted a cheap runabout for the German people, it still has an irresistible appeal and is regarded by many as an automotive icon. This pictorial history, featuring many rarely seen period photographs, looks at the car's conception and long career. It recalls Porsche's initial designs and the birth of the car in Nazi Germany in the 1930s, the classic models and derivatives of the 1950s and 1960s - the split-window and oval-window Beetles with their characteristic sloping headlamps - and the most familiar models of the late 1960s and 1970s with their big back windows and their 1300cc and 1500cc engines.
