The Origin of the Classic Icon - The Volkswagen 1200 Beetle

The Volkswagen 1200 Beetle is a true legend among automobiles and represents an era of economic prosperity and the spread of cars for the masses. This generation was produced from 1965 to 1983 and was born under the leadership of Ferdinand Piëch. The Beetle, originally designed as a people's car by Ferdinand Porsche, became one of the best-selling cars of all time. The technology was groundbreaking at the time: an air-cooled, 4-cylinder boxer engine in the rear, a simple yet effective suspension, and a robust steel frame. The Volkswagen 1200 Beetle was directly derived from the prototype of the Volkswagen Type 1. Interesting facts from that time include the first moon landing in 1969, the release of The Beatles' song "Let It Be," and the end of the Vietnam War in 1975.
