Entering production decades later, the 1966 VW Beetle represented a peak in its popularity, charming millions with its unique character and simplicity. Its capability on the road, combined with economic fuel efficiency, made it a beloved model worldwide, even surviving tough times, including WWII when its production was repurposed for military needs.
