Volkswagen Beetle Owners Manual
The Volkswagen Beetle, also known as the Volkswagen Type 1, was an economy car produced by the German auto maker Volkswagen (VW) from 1938 until 2003. It used an air cooled rear engined rear wheel drive (RR layout). Over 21 million Beetles were produced in all.
The Volkswagen New Beetle was introduced by Volkswagen in 1998, drawing heavy inspiration from the exterior design of the original VW Beetle. Unlike the Beetle, the VW New Beetle has its engine in the front driving the front wheels and luggage storage in the rear. In May 2010, Volkswagen (VW) announced that production of the New Beetle will cease in 2010. Volkswagen Beetle sales boomed in the 1960s, thanks to clever advertising campaigns, and the VW Beetle's reputation for reliability and sturdiness. On 17 February 1972, when Beetle No. 15,007,034 was produced, VW Beetle production surpassed that of the previous record holder, the Ford Model T. By 1973, total production was over 16 million, and by 23 June 1992, over 21 million had been produced. As of 2009, the VW Beetle is arguably the world's best-selling car design. More units of the Toyota Corolla brand have been sold.
