VW Cars
Volkswagen, Beetle, Bugs
Hello air-cooled VW fanatics =)!
"VINTAGE VOLKSWAGENS ARNT JUST
COOL, THEY`RE AIR COOLED!"
The Volkswagen Beetle is regarded as one of the most remarkable and best engineered cars of the century. The car has its origins in the 1930s as it was designed mainly by Dr. Ferdinand Porsche during that decade. Porsche had had dreams of creating an economical car for the masses in Germany since he was a young man.
Volkswagen transporters were not as popular as Beetles, and in the first 5 years of production, there were 4 times fewer Buses built as Beetles. The Buses (and all other transporters) produced before 1955 had characteristically large engine access doors. Today, they are largely known as "barn-door" buses. Some people think that barn-door is supposed to be a reference to the side doors, but it is a misconception. These early barn-door transporters are very rare today.
