When you think about all of the modern-day conveniences that today’s Volkswagen Beetle has, it’s hard to imagine that the original version of the car was created all the way back in the 1930s in Germany. While work on the design of the vehicle started several years earlier, the first Volkswagen Beetle was not manufactured until 1938. Due to WWII and other events, private European citizens and Allied troops stationed in Europe were unable to purchase a Volkswagen Beetle until 1947.
During the 1950s, the Volkswagen brand started importing the Volkswagen Beetle to the U.S. slowly, but the automaker’s importation of the popular vehicle sped up dramatically the following decade. Sales of the Volkswagen Beetle in the United States stopped in 1979, but the vehicle was still sold in Mexico and Brazil after that. Even though it was originally designed in the mid-1930s, the Volkswagen Beetle did not undergo its first significant redesign until 1988. Over time, the Volkswagen brand has sold more than 21 million of these iconic vehicles.
