From the 1960s to 2007, I’ve owned (or leased) five Volkswagen (six if I count the Skoda.) These included a couple of Beetles, a Bus, a Brasilia and a Golf. The Skoda was a Fabia, i.e. a VW Polo in disguise.
The lead engineer for the Beetle project, Ferdinand Porsche approved the final design in 1938 and the Volkswagen, the people’s car was born. Volkswagen produced 21.5 million Beetles from 1938 to 2003. This model is based on a mid-60s Type I Beetle. It was powered by a 1.3 L, four-cylinder, flat opposed, air cooled, gasoline engine mounted at the rear of the car. The car had a top speed of about 80 mph (129 kph.) The small size could accommodate two full sized adult and two smaller people.
