VOLKSWAGEN Beetle 1945 - 2003

 The Volkswagen Beetle is one of the most popular cars in the world, being first produced in 1938 and kept in production until 2003. Although it was first known as Beetle or Bug, this Volkswagen model adopted its name in August 1967. However, the vehicle never used the Beetle name in the United Kingdom where it was marketed as Type I, 1100, 1200, 1300 or 1500. The 1945 model of Volkswagen was initially produced for the German army, but only a few vehicles were produced, especially due to the lack of gasoline. In 1945, the Beetle production was stopped due to the attacks of the Allies, but all the equipment was moved into bunkers in order to restart the process after the end of the war.
