Volkswagen Käfer 1100 Standard (Brezel)
(1946 - 1953)
Car articles about Volkswagen Käfer 1100 Standard (Brezel) by year
In 1962, five million VW Beetles had already been sold, and nobody could have guessed that this figure would one day reach 20 million. But even then, people wondered about the long-lasting success of the model and wanted to know how the latest examples from 1962 differed from the original model from 1939 or the post-war version from 1952. The magazine 'hobby' brought the three together for comparison. This article reproduces the original wording of the test report from back then and shows the three generations of Beetle in many historical pictures and the original model even in its original sales brochure.
In 1948, less than 100,000 Volkswagens had been produced; exports had only just begun. But the car was already proving to be quite mature. Nevertheless, hardly anyone would have bet that 21 million VW Beetles would one day be produced. And probably not even those lucky ones who were able to buy a new Volkswagen back then would have believed it. This driving report is about a very early VW Type 11 from 1948 and shows it in current and historical pictures, supplemented by sales literature and operating instructions.
For connoisseurs and friends of the unforgotten post-war Volkswagen that went down in history as the "VW Beetle", one of the various special versions has an extra high status: the Hebmüller Cabriolet. This vehicle report tells the story of the 1949 VW Cabriolet with historical pictures and interesting facts.
For most people, the VW Beetle is the Volkswagen par excellence, in every sense of the word. A car for the people, a people's car. And the Beetle was indeed an above-average success. But before it, Ford's Model T had already passed the 15 million mark, and in modern times the Toyota Corolla, VW Golf and Ford's F-series even managed to reach over 30 million, although they were not the only people's cars to do so. This report looks back at some selected production successes in car history and shows them in 200 pictures. A feast for the eyes!
