The Beetle, officially known as the Volkswagen Type 1, was originally constructed to be the German transportation for the masses vehicle, the same way Ford’s Model T was for America in the early 20th century. Designed by Ferdinand Porsche, the “Volks-wagen” or “People’s Car” had to meet four requirements: be fuel efficient, carry two adults and two children comfortably, be capable of reaching 60mph and feature an air-cooled rear engine. Porsche and his staff tried various combinations with the aerodynamic “beetle” shape and ultimately it was the designated Type 38, with split rear windows that became the Type 60 or “KdF-Wagen” (translated as the “Strength through Joy Car”).

After World War II the then British-controlled VW Factory was rebuilt and the model slowly entered mass production. The Type 1’s unconventional appeal in the traditional large car market of the United States eventually brought in strong sales figures and resulted in Volkswagen producing more Beetle derivatives, such as the Type 2 Microbus, Karmann Ghia, the Thing and the Type 3 platform of air-cooled flat-4 engine vehicles. Eventually the sales trend of the imported Volkswagens caught the eye of American Auto Makers and resulted in the “Big Three” producing their own compact cars. This would do little to change the fact that the American Public had become smitten by the “Bug.”

1967 was the final year for what many Volkswagen historians refer to as the “classic” Beetle. The iconic US specification “over rider” or “towel rack” bumper design were discontinued for the 1968 model. Upfront single beam headlights were now standard as was a 12 volt electrical system for the first time. A dual circuit brake system was also standard while numerous body panels including the hood, decklid and front fenders are specific to the 1967 model year. This combination of updates, features and “classic” Beetle appearance has led many VW enthusiasts to consider 1967 the best year for the Beetle and examples are highly sought after by both collectors and enthusiasts worldwide today!
