Volkswagen Beetle

The Volkswagen Beetle has been around since 1938, but it’s still an iconic ’60s vehicle by all standards. In the U.S., it’s impossible to think of “the Bug” without thinking of the Swinging Sixties. In the post-war period, the Beetle was one of the best-selling automobiles in America, despite its dark past as an ideological symbol of Nazi Germany.

A vehicle idealized by the minds of Ferdinand Porsche and Adolf Hitler, the Beetle was dubbed “the people’s car” from early on, and the nickname never lost its meaning. If you can get past its troubled origins, you’ll find that the Beetle is still one of the most trustworthy vehicles on the market.
