Classic VW BuGs Type 1 Beetle Really Was the Car of the 20th Century

As the old commercial tagline goes: “A Volkswagen is never changed to make it look different, only to make it work better.” The Volkswagen Beetle is perhaps the most relevant car of the 20th century, surpassing the Ford Model T in production numbers.

Yes, Volkswagen has a dark history regarding its relationship with the Nazis during World War II, but it did manage to engineer and build a cheap and reliable car for the populace. In production from 1938 until 2003 (NOT a typo), the original Beetle has rightly earned its place in automotive history.
