Photo Gallery «VW 1500 Automatic - innovation boost for the Beetle»
There was hardly a year in which the VW Beetle made such great progress as in the fall of 1967. 1500 Automatic not only introduced a torque converter-assisted semi-automatic transmission, but also a modern rear axle. And the fact that the 1968 model also looked more contemporary and the Beetle as a whole was safer in many respects made the 1500 Automatic a minor sensation. This driving report tells the story of the first automatic Beetle and shows it in current and historical photographs. A sound sample is also included.
