Being a German, though born '75, I feel deeply touched by this. After we caused the worst nightmarish catastrophe imaginable in the 20th century, at least we built a car that still puts a smile into peoples faces and ended up being symbol of peacefulness and freedom. It meant a lot to us - or at least to my father. He felt quite responsible and guilty himself even though he'd been to young back than, but he grew up in the WW2 and saw the world burning and the ashes and ruins that it left behind. Every time we watched the Disney Herby movies (they run countless times on tv) he wanted me close to him - it took me years to understand what had been going on in him. Hey always said: "Look, they love our car! Can you believe this? They really love it." - Sorry, I couldn't resist to tell this. Really great documentary! Have a nice one! :)
Being a Pole (born late 1970s) I did inherit some hatred towards Germans -- yet, by the time I was a teen, it was mostly just jokes and stereotypes.
One thing we joke here often and dearly is: Germans Cars! Some realy are legendary! The buggy - we call it "humpbackee" def. is a legend. Grusse!
Germany did not solely cause WW2….the Allies Treaty of Versailles did.
If I may...I came out of school in 71 and mine was a 71 before the super beetles came out .....when I got married I had a 411, and a vw rabbit
Still wish I had my beetle though.
@roberttaylor9563 1971 was the first year of the super beetle. The super beetle still had the flat windshield till 1972. In 1973, Volkswagen put the curved windshield on the super beetle and the convertible, also built as a super beetle.
I personally am glad you did ....to this day i am a history buff and a car buff all at one time......here's something for you .....I got married in my 20's and I bought another vw rear engine car...call
VW 411...station wagon type,...trunk in the front. ....one of the few vw ever talked about.I 'm going to see if I can find any history on that car.
This is a great documentary. I had a 1972 Super Beetle for five years, and I would have had it longer if the floor hadn't rotted away. It may still very well be the best car I've ever had. I'm now on my third Volkswagen, a 2012 Golf (the second was a 2000 Golf, my first new car) and I am just as into the water-cooled VWs as the air-cooled ones. I just adopted two kittens, and I call them my four-legged babies, but the 2012 Golf, like the Super Beetle and the 2000 Golf before it, is my four-WHEELED baby.
That's what cars truly are about. Moving, but also making memories.
We have a sweet 68” bug that took a lot of TLC to get him road worthy again. He, Fillmore, is a driver not a trailer queen and we love him as he is. This my 3rd one, bought my first one at 18. 2 were early 70’s models. Drove those cars everywhere, every kind of weather. My Buddy rolled the first one, rebuilt it, later sold it because of trans problems. Sold the 2nd one in the late 90’ to buy a pickup. Got the 68 about 4 years ago on a trade for a 6 cylinder 2001 Mustang. I never give this one up.
I Mom and Dad owned a VW Beetle when they were newlyweds back in 1967!!!! They had it for 4 years and and traded it for a VW station wagon because I came around!!!! LOL!!!😂😂😂 My Dad said that the VW Beetle was very reliable, dependable, great on gas mileage and it never broke down!!!! For the length of time they owned it !!!! They said they needed a family car when I was born!!!! I wish they still owned that car!!!! Its a classic!!!!😊😊😊
They aren't lying about the reliability. If you stay on top of the basics, it will run and run and run and run. Start in any weather, idle anywhere. As long as you keep it full of good fuel (non ethanol), stay on top of the oil, and maybe add a pusher fan from a Porsche to help force air into the engine compartment, if the vehicle sees a lot of traffic.
That's pretty much it. I had a cousin car, a Karmann Ghia for quite sometime. Live in South Florida, so I added an AC kit. That required more maintenance to keep clean and such, due to the location of the condensers (under vehicle). But, outside of that, car just never let me down.
Exellent production. Congratulations!!! I'm 72 years old and I always loved the BUG.I never drove nor owned one. Someone in my family or friends had a BUG at some point in their lives. It brings me fond memories of my childhood back home in my country Colombia 🇨🇴. Thanks a lot. Great job 👍👍
I bought a new VW Beetle in 1976. Drove it for 20 years, maintenance was relatively easy and I did most of it myself.
Still miss my VeeDub, great car. Used it to travel to work, and many memorable holiday trips in South Africa.
30 min in and I’m already scrolling through eBay ads missing my ‘71 Westy. Excellent documentary on all levels!!
I Just got my '71 Type 3 back on the road. I'd owned a '69 in the 80s and have missed it ever since. I'm falling in love all over again.
what a beautiful story to VW lovers ....
I had a 1303 for a while. Those were the best of times, and those were the worst of times. But sometimes I still miss her.
Well done, thank you.
El espíritu humano no tiene límites, un coche que había surgido de sus cenizas y que era, como rezaba el manual de instrucciones en España, “un coche capaz de satisfacer todas las exigencias”. A finales de 2016 la empresa Volkswagen se convirtió en el mayor fabricante del mundo tras producir 10 millones de coches, exactamente 10.312.400 ud.; el patito feo, el humilde Escarabajo, había convertido a su empresa en cisne. Una historia apasionante.
Cool video. The Bug must be the most recognized car in the world. I will have one yet. Gotta love 'em.
Well what a nice documentary!!! ❤ 😅
They are fun to drive. I recall that in early Bugs, the oil filter was a long narrow metal screen.
Excellent presentation. I own an original '74 Sun Bug convertible.
Such a beautiful film..
What a sad story , I remember when we used to drive by the ocean back in the 60's n 70's in a bug 😮
Fantastic video, it’s most definitely a special car
Mantap
Touching story.
Even Obi-Wan drives a Bug....😘
Excellent
we had a 1970 vw autostick for a while i still miss that little car it was old when we got it but it was a tough little machine and surprisingly comfortable
such a great video. Thanks so much for sharing this. wonderfully done and great stories in it. I just recently was able to get a 74 Super Beetle Convertible, I know they aren't as appreciated as the earlier models but, it is my first entry into the air cooled VWs and a convertible so I am super excited
I had a 67 and then a 74 Beetle.
Ok so Obi Wan drives a Beetle.
Very nice video,oddly enuf I’ve had vws since 2010 after being a mustang guy all my life.mostly new diesels of vw,Audi ,Mercedes currently painting a vw bug mural on an old corrugated metal wall in my family room ..good people,wave even when you aren’t in your vw,they will know
My grandpa was big into beetles my dad also had a hand full grandpa passed last summer and I started looking for a beetle just got a 73 super last weekend and am excited
love it!
Recently, i have got into Formula Vee and i'm constantly on the lookout for VW aircooled parts. I confess, i was somewhat envious of the footage of the Mexican taxis, stacked up awaiting crushing :0[
❤. OK. YES. ❤
74 vw 1303s 1600cc built in Germany, Euro version in a country replete with Brazilian built vw 1300cc here!!
I don't understand this statement my friend, could you abbreviate please, thanks
🙏🏼 Mom
Not the best car I had.It would go well on the snow but it did not steer well in the snow. CHEERS from Westcoast Canada!
5 minutes into the video that old bug is worth a lot more than $500. I see no rot. You should sell it for 10% of the car's value when it's finished.
Most MY favouret carr VW BETTEL BUG
neighbor has a bug he's 6 foot six he never had a problem got in car & drove.
Das Cochinile ❤
Only one tough problem in older bugs. The solex carburettor!
I assume you mean the post 68’ carbs? Cause carb on my 59’ is the simplest fuel system I’ve ever worked on, excluding some (but not all) small engine carbs. Its got like 3 adjustments and takes 10 minutes to dial in, and about an hour to rebuild if you know what you’re doing
Hell the carbs are so inexpensive now days. It’s cheaper than rebuilding them. Never stop me from owning my 68.
Freedom is NOT a desire. It is something inherent from within.
Think of it as something we've been born with it; NOT acquired!
The original TDI diesel from the 1990s was an honest engine that passed emissions test legitimately, but in 2006, VW was forced to take it off the market in the U.S. because Detroit got the U.S. government to tighten federal emissions standards -not out of concern for the environment but out of fear of competition. Then, in 2009, VW introduced the new and improved "Clean Diesel" TDI, and I suppose we should have known something was wrong when VW claimed that it found a way to meet new U.S. emissions standards in three short years.
I had a split rear screen one as a teenager one day it broke down I sold it to a mate it ended up as a beach buggy
❤
💯💯💯
Second time....
I wasn't born until '74, so it's strange to me that there was once a period of time when Americans used the German pronunciation of "Volkswagen".
32:17 dude needs to use soapy water mix, and suction cups. Will make his life A LOT easier.

I think it was up until like 2003 Mexico still made, not the “new” one either. One like this with some minor modifications
Diesel gate compared to “rolling coal” what B S!
Beetle Wan Kenobi.
My aunt had one and it drank petrol
No horeshair,it was coconut fibers
Who’s the “organic” girl? “Organic, organic, organic, organic”? WTF?
What a great movie, very enjoyable, its just a pity that the EU are trying to bring in laws that if your old car engine or transmission is blown, or your car is needing welding the compleat car will have to be crushed, because of emissions and climate change, that's why here in Ireland 🇮🇪 we are trying to leave the EU the Economic Union, but here in Ireland we know extra population causes extra pollution, so we have 5 new Irish Nationalist Patriotic political partys who want border control to stop mass migration and extra Irish global warming,
Ireland for the Irish 🇮🇪
Trump 2024 🇱🇷
I would happily buy an electric ID.3 hatchback, but Volkswagen of America has decided for me that I and other Americans can't have one. Now THAT'S losing our democracy!
I'm not sure why you call a Beatle a bug. It's like giving a person a name that is different from their own. It is disrespectful.
Aka Volkswagen Type 1 - "Beetle Bug" has the appearance of a Lady bug - beetle ... That simple, yet precise assessment as to why ...
And you should talk to your parents more. I could have told you the Nazis didn't develop the Volkswagen and very similar vehicles were made by other European companies previously. What we know as The Beetle is in fact an imitation of previous European cars.
The bug is a copy of Czech vehicles
