Volkswagen 1960 (Low Poly Version)
Will Volkswagen bring back the Beetle as an EV? The official line is no, but with a children's cartoon heroine named Ladybug driving what obviously is an electric future Bug, we're thinking the unofficial answer may be yes. The last Beetle was discontinued in 2019, and while the name is dormant, it's one of the oldest and most iconic nameplates.
In the U.S., the Beetle was sold between 1950 and 1979 (under the New Beetle era, from 1998 to 2011 and 2012 to 2019 for the last generation). But the little VW's history stretches all the way back to 1934, when Ferdinand Porsche proposed his design for a "people's car," the Volkswagen, to Adolf Hitler.
The first batch of finalized cars were birthed in 1938, only to see the gleaming new factory built to assemble them pulled into Germany's war effort and later bombed to near oblivion. European civilians wouldn't get their hands on the car until 1947, after production was restarted to provide ground transportation for Allied occupying troops.
U.S. importation grew from a trickle in the early '50s to a flood a decade later, and eventually, 21 million Beetles would be sold worldwide. Even after U.S. sales ceased in 1979, the car continued to be built and sold in Mexico and Brazil until 2003. Over the years, very little about the Beetle changed; it wasn't until 1998 that the car received its first major redesign. For a look at the major events in the Bug's history, continue on.
War is over! While Times Square goes nuts, sailors kiss random women, and the world lets out a collective sigh of relief as Germany falls to the Allied forces, the factory where Volkswagens were to be built lies in ruin. Located in a buggy swampland along the river Aller in what would later become Wolfsburg, the factory had yet to build a single civilian model, having been converted to build war munitions and VW-based vehicles shortly after its construction in 1938.
Production of the Volkswagen the name "Beetle" had yet to stick was plagued by ongoing repairs to the Wolfsburg factory, coal and materials shortages, and the fact the company lacked a true owner. The Allied Military Government places a Brit, Major Ivan Hirst, in charge of the factory, which is put back into service to fulfill an order for 20,000 VWs for the occupation forces. Pictured here is the 10,000th Bug assembled there.
An ex-Opel executive, Heinz Nordhoff, gets hired to run the place when the British begin attempting to transition ownership of the "Wolfsburg Motor Works," as it had come to be named, to almost anyone willing to take it. Henry Ford II refuses to take the operation as a gift; the British auto industry also has no interest in the car or the factory. Undeterred, Nordhoff sets up exports to Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, and Switzerland. Nordhoff's zeal for exports is less about expanding VW's sales and more about bringing in hard currency from outside Germany. Sales are strong at home, but German currency isn't worth much. The factory needs machinery from abroad, particularly from America, and holding foreign currency is key. But no currency glows greener in Nordhoff's eyes than American dollars.
One of VW's first export markets is Holland, where a man by the name of Ben Pon sells 56 cars so successfully that Nordhoff calls upon him to make a go at the U.S. market. A few cars had made their way to the States by this time, brought over by returning servicemen as the occupation wound down. Pon travels to New York with a single VW and some spare parts, but anti-German sentiment remains strong, and the trip is a disaster. Pon is forced to sell the car and attendant parts in order to pay his hotel bill and travel back to Europe. Nordhoff tries for himself later that same year, but he, too, is rebuffed. At the same time, ownership of VW is finally transferred from the Allied Military Government to the West German federal government. The first civilian cabriolet built by Karmann appears in 1949.
Success! A VW is officially exported to the U.S. An East Coast foreign-car dealer, Max Hoffman, is appointed exclusive VW importer for America east of the Mississippi River. Hoffman sells 330 VWs, mostly to other dealers throughout the U.S. Many of the VWs are tacked onto orders for Porsches and Jaguars as in, to expedite orders of sexy sports cars, dealers agree to buy a VW or two from Hoffman. The cars are cheap, and dealers discover they aren't that difficult to sell.
By 1951, the original Type I's cable brakes are replaced by hydraulically operated drums at all four corners, and the engine gains a Solex carburetor. Power swells from 24 horsepower to 30.
The 1950s and 1960s see Volkswagen expand its clever, often self-deprecating advertising. In 1961, the Beetle's transmission becomes fully synchronized, and an automatic choke and a pump-type windshield washer system are fitted. Output rises to 40 horsepower.The Bug's engine grew in size again for 1966, to 1285 cc, prompting the addition of a slightly optimistic "1300" badge to the trunk. Output increases to 50 horsepower.
Volkswagen again juices the Beetle's engine, increasing displacement to 1493 cc, netting another 3 horsepower and a badge update to "1500." In '67, the Bug inherits 12-volt electronics, dual-circuit brakes, and two-speed windshield wipers.
Throughout the 1960s, Bruce Meyers works to perfect his idea of the Beetle-based dune buggy. California beach culture spawns a few "kit cars" that utilize the Beetle's floor pan, engine, and transmission, making it a snap to pick up a junked Bug and transform it into a wild beachcomber. A few years of development results in Meyers' kit, the Manx, leading the pack. We place one of his Manxes on the cover of our April 1967 issue.
