History
The Volkswagen Beetle, designed by Ferdinand Porsche in the 1930s, was envisioned as an affordable “people’s car” and became a global icon. Production began in 1938 but was interrupted by World War II, resuming afterward and gaining immense popularity, particularly in the U.S., where it became a symbol of counterculture. Known for its unique design and durability, the Beetle’s simplicity and reliability endeared it to millions worldwide, especially during the 1960s and ’70s. Production in Germany ended in 1978, with the final Beetle manufactured in Mexico in 2003. Over its lifetime, more than 21 million Beetles were produced, cementing its place as one of the best-selling and most beloved classic cars of all time.

This exceptional Beetle has official ASI (Automotoclub Storico Italiano) certification, affirming its historical authenticity and value. Recognized as a classic, this certification guarantees its preservation and makes it a prized collectible in the classic car community.
