Volkswagen Käfer 1303 LS
(1972 - 1980)
Car articles about Volkswagen Käfer 1303 LS by year
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!
In its very first year, the VW Golf became the best-selling car in Germany. Looking back, it must be said that the transition from the Beetle to the Golf was smoother than expected. The 1975 test takes a close look at the Golf LS.

VW Golf LS - as green as hope
The VW Golf was the most important new model for the brand from Wolfsburg since the post-war period; without it, the Volkswagen world would probably look very different today. Reason enough to go back to the very beginning and enjoy the qualities of an early Golf LS. This driver's report tells the story of the successful model and shows the early Golf in many new and historical pictures. A sound sample and sales literature are also included.
The VW 1303 Cabriolet was built by Karmann from 1973 to 1980, almost 115,000 of them. At the time, it was the cheapest way to transport five people in the open air and it was loved, even today. This driving report summarizes the history of the open-top Volkswagen and tries to find out why the Beetle Cabriolet has become one of the most popular classics. Five brochures and countless archive photos (from 1938 to 1980) provide an insight into the development and nature of the open-top Beetle.
Not so many years ago, the VW Beetle was the most-produced vehicle in automotive history, but it has since been overtaken by more modern successors. However, the popularity of the round rear-engined car remains unbroken, and even as a classic car it is high up in the registration rankings. A Beetle makes drivers, passengers and passers-by smile, and that is precisely the aim of this story illustrated with particularly emotional pictures for the 2016 Beetle Year.
