Volkswagen Type 1

While the Volkswagen Type 1 (affectionally known as the Beetle or Bug) was first designed and manufactured in the 1930s, it didn’t begin to leave Germany in large numbers until after World War II. While the car had relative success throughout the 1950s, it really took off in the ’60s, becoming one of the most recognizable cars on the road. The ’63 model is probably the most iconic, thanks to its appearance in the 1968 movie “The Love Bug,” which kicked off the longrunning “Herbie” series of movies. The titular character of the recent “Transformers” movie “Bumblebee” disguises himself as a ’67 Beetle.
