Jóia da mecânica Alemã (Germany) evolução da indústria automotiva desse país de Gênios! A melhor industria automobilística mundial!!!!👏👏👏👏👏 From RIO BRASIL
I had a 1956 Karman Ghia, a 1966 Karman Ghia, a 1958 Beetle, a 1961 Beetle, a 1966 Beetle, a 1970 Beetle, a 1974 Beetle, a 1965 Notchback, a 1963 Camper, a 1970 Bus, a 1968 Camper, a 1962 Type 2 Truck (rarest of rare desert edition) & now, a 1962 Beetle. I also love The Beatles!
ICH habe einen VW Käfer Porsche Bj.1958 Alles Orginal mit Winker und Blinker, Sonderlakierung und einen Motor mit Holz 30PS und läuft und läuft bis heute. Mein Vater war mit dem Wagen orginal beim Unglück in Legende dabei und läuft und läuft bis heute super gut.
My Dad was a mechanic and had this to say about VW's. He said "Any engine you got to crack apart like a walnut is really not worth the effort". However, he once owned a 60's vw van which had no windows on the sides until he installed two porthole windows on the rear sides of van. He then sold it to some real hippies who painted it like a "Magic Bus" with flowers and such. Oh, and don't forget the stickers on most of the windows.
Learn basic mechanic's ''The idiots guide'', yes, you can do it. In Russia, you don't get a drivers licence without critical mechanical skills ....your a nuisance to society .
My parents bought a used '60 Volkswagen Beetle from Springer's Ford in South Illinois (near Chanute AFB where my dad was stationed). I was probably a bit over a year old at the time. It was one of our first cars that I remember, the other one in my early memory being a 64 Ford Country Sedan (notably the round taillights). I remember the Bug was black with red interior, and it had that cloth sunroof. Sometimes my mother would open it when we were on the road. I remember my brother lifting me up through the roof to watch fireworks. It must have been the 4th of July. Oh and it had the wide white sidewalls! A sweet fun compact with character today's econocars and Prius's lack. What I wouldn't give to find and buy that car today!
There are as many as 17 changes for 1953 VW Bug, the first time in the VW history. Changes are: Vent wing windows added, two brake and taillights on each on rear fenders, license plate light no longer have one taillight, synchronized transmission (except for 1st gear), dash is redesigned, speedometer is also redesigned, needle is pointed at "0" at the lower left of the dial, glove compartment added a door, and turn signal lever is mounted at the steering column; formerly a switch on dash.
3:01 to 6:17 I'm surprised they could make the glass go all the way down on the earlier models; one of the reasons that triangular vent windows were so popular was that it was hard to accommodate a full sliding window with all the other things that have to fit in a door.
I wish vw kept that overall bubbly shape throughout its overall lifespan, at least for the front of the car. There is just alot more to be appreciated out of the 1943-1966 bugs.
I had acquired a 59 in Germany when I was stationed there. Sadly I left it behind when I left because I had my 65 which I had rebuilt while there, so that's the one I brought back with me.
Had an opportunity to work on a genuine "Kuba Wagon" from the Africa Corps when a mechanic at Klein Forman VW in Van Nuys. Owner was a Union Oil engineer and found it in Libyan desert on a drill site. Payed "baksheesh" to authorities and shipped it back to L.A. Rented it to movie studios to make some bucks. Lowest geared thing I've ever seen. Also worked on a 60s VW "limo". (type 1) Stretched with 2 extra seats facing the rear.
El vw ordenado por el Fehurer inicio en 1935 . El modelo 1932 es un NSU donde Ferdinand Porsche aportó ideas . No confundan a la gente. Los prototipos del VW se realizaron de 1936 a 1938 obteniéndose el diseño definido hasta 1938.
I think Hebmüller did the Beetle pick-up conversions. They also did the very pretty 2-seat cabriolet conversions on Beetles. Hebmüller was a coach-builder similar to Karmann.
Aqui no Brasil é Fusca! Esta obra-prima automobilística, comprável a Coca-Cola dos refrigerantes! Hier in Brasilien ist Käfer! Dieses Automobil-Meisterwerk, käufliche Coca-Cola von Erfrischungsgetränken! Scarabéeest ici au Brésil! Ce chef-d'œuvre automobile, Coca-Cola achetable de boissons gazeuses!
VW beetle production didn't start until 1938 so i'm guessing the ones that were from 1932-1937 were the 3 prototypes that Ferdinand Porsche and his son and friends had kept tinkering with before it went into production.
@@SladesVWBeetle yes darn thing looked like a new on. I know where one is . It's a 62 or 3 been sitting in a chicken house for over 35 yrs. They won't sell it, says it was Daddies!
wow i thought Slug Bugs were new in the 60s i didnt know they were around since the 30s! interesting how it managed to keep its same design all these years. i mean most cars today look drastically different than their 30s counterparts but with the Beetle it doesnt look that much different!
the best simple car ever in car history volkswagen .the modern beetle i vomit on it as the modern fiat and modern mini they are wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy behind the classic cars of their respective manufacturer they are inferior to desing and technologie.cars these day's almost nobody can work on them anymore since the engine takes up all the space and all electronice you MUST go to a garage .car manufacturers these day's dont want car owners to work on their car witch was easy back in the day's no no no no they want you to go to an expensive garage and dig money out of people's pockets.it sickens me
Germany had this one right.The people's car. I have been around the world and you see them everywhere. Why? For what it was and is today , it's still overall the best.
minidreschi2 - same reason as 39 & 40 Ford coupe, 37 Chevy coupe, + all the other coupe´s of the 30´s & ´40´s. For the person with no children or the businessman - or mostly proberbly a STYLECHOISE.
The very first drawings are from 1923, called the Ganz-Klein-Wagen. In 1931 was the first prototype, in 1933 it was introduced at the autosalon in Berlin
The 1945-48 cars which were assembled in the bombed ruins of the Wolfsburg plant under British control were the first few that the German public could actually buy. That is, if the average German citizen had any money to spend on a car at that time. The few cars that were assembled used panels stamped on salvaged equipment damaged by Allied bombing of the plant. Each car made during that period utilized a two piece roof panel as no existing equipment could stamp roofs in one piece. The integrity of the two piece roofs were tested by rolling the cars to determine if the roof welds would fail. Most of the British built cars went to military personnel. A very few cars were assembled for retail purchasers. The plant was initially awarded to the British Army after Henry Ford was offered the facility and pronounced both the plant and the little cars it was painstakingly assembling as worthless. In c. 1948, the modern VW company came into being and was besieged by holders of " stamp books" which was the scheme of the Nazis to sell cars via a stamp purchase plan. After a certain amount of books were filled with stamps, a prospective owner could redeem the books for a car. While under Nazi rule, NOT ONE CAR was ever delivered to the public. When production resumed fully in 1948, holders of filled stamp books demanded that the new company honor the pre-war "marketing agreement". Again, NOT ONE CAR was ever delivered under the redemption scheme. VW offered some small discount to holders of the stamps on a purchase of a car. Despite a twice spurned public, the car was truly an engineering marvel on the level of the Model T decades before. In the way that the early Ford cars put America behind the wheel, those first VW's put postwar Germany behind the wheel as well. In that way, Porsche's or Tatra's or whoever's vision of affordable transportation for the masses was finally realized. The original Type 1 "Beetle" was made for almost 70 years in one country or another before it ceased production as a South American made product. Ironically, two 21st Century efforts by VW to manufacture a somewhat retro looking modern version were relative sales failures.
Cette "évolution" c'est un peut n'importe quoi les modèles présentés ne concernent en grandes paries que des véhicules hors Europe pour info le premier modèle avec clignoteurs date de 1961 en Europe et certains modèles exposés n'ont jamais été commercialisés.
