VOLKSWAGEN mod. Tipo 1

(Germania 1952)

Volkswagen produced 20,710,000 of its famous Beetle (Maggiolino in Italian) cars between 1945 and 1987: a record that will be hard to beat. Designed by Ferdinand Porsche before World War II as a car for the general public to be built in a new factory at Wolfsburg, it only started to roll off the assembly lines when peace returned. Within a few years, it was the world’s bestseller thanks to its proverbial ruggedness, reliability and low running cost.
