The VW Beetle is probably the most popular people's car of all time. This pictorial history, which features many rare period photographs, looks again at its conception and long career. It recalls Porsche's initial designs, and the birth of the car in Nazi Germany, the classic models and derivatives of the 1940's and 1950's, up to the new front wheel drive Beetle, which pays homage to the distinctive design of the original but has been conceived in an altogether different world.
