The project started in the 1930s, and the original name Volkswagen in Germany means “the car of the people.” The German state was looking for a car that would be accessible to people in poor conditions, so they contacted Ferdinand Porsche to do the project.

The first VW Beetle was made in 1938 in Wolfsburg, Germany, and the last one was made in 2003 in Mexico. The VW Beetle was the most produced car in 1972, breaking the record previously held by the Ford Model T. In all these years, more than 21 million cars were produced.

In 1949, a guy from the Netherlands imported the first VW Beetle to New York. That year marked the start of the Americans’ love affair with Volkswagen.
