Volkswagen History

The Volkswagen Beetle can be considered one of the most inarguable icons of the automotive world.  It’s not fast, it’s not powerful, it’s not even stylish or elegant, but it sure is fun.  No matter what age group you belong to this car has been around and in some way been a part of the society you have lived in.  It was offered at times when cars were larger and more powerful to be a smaller and more economic option for many and many of the classic aged Beetles are still being updated and remade to be cars we want to love and drive.  Let’s take a tour down memory lane and see how the Beetle has touched history and what it has been.
