XCAR takes a great look at the history of one of the most iconic cars of all time: the Volkswagen Beetle. From its not-so-humble beginnings as Hitler’s “People’s car” and its near-death experience after the war, through to its global success and its current “replacement”, the video traces the Beetle’s history and what it is […]
