1938 VW Beetle

The Volkswagen Beetle, officially known as the type 1, and originally called ‘Käfer’, is an economy car produced by the German auto maker Volkswagen (VW) from 1938 until 2003. Although the names "Beetle" and "Bug" were quickly adopted by the public, it was not until August 1967 that VW itself began using the name Beetle in marketing materials in the US.

This is the first "beetle" released in 1938.
