Cars That Changed The World: Volkswagen Beetle - Autos News

Despite a sluggish financial recovery after World War II, Volkswagen struck gold with its iconic Beetle, which managed to stay in production until 2003. The concept of a "people's car" was nothing new when Dr. Ferdinand Porsche set out to make the Beetle. The Ford Model T had come and gone by this point, and in truth the Beetle didn't add much to the idea of what made for a proper people's car. But where the Model T was obviously going to be a success from the start, the Beetle was a surprise success, pulling off an amazing sales feat by way of good timing and a brilliant marketing campaign.
