Nazi Germany, 1930, 65 years back…………..
Adolf Hitler - “Give me a peoples car. A car capable of transporting two adults and three children at a speed of 100 km/h (62 mph), and that it should cost no more than a motorcycle and sidecar to buy”
Ferdinand Porsche – “Yes Sir (Or Hey Mogambo, raising one hand to 45 degrees), I will”
And this incident gave birth to the curvy, bubbly, cute and the most beautiful car in the world – “Volkswagen Beetle”. Other names of “Beetle” are "Bug", “Vocho”, “Käfer”, "Type I", 1200, 1300 and 1500.
The term “Volkswagen” means “Peoples Car”
Built as a compact car, designed to be as simple as possible with rear-mounted air-cooled engine and a round shape, just like a real beetle made it stand different from other cars at that time.
“Beetle” and “Ambassador” are two beautiful Classic cars, I like the most!
