The Volkswagen Beetle was produced from 1938 until 2003.

With over 21 million manufactured in an air-cooled, rear-engined, rear-wheel drive configuration, the Beetle is the longest-running and most-manufactured car of a single design platform anywhere in the world.

During the 1950's, the car was modified progressively; the obvious visual changes mostly concerned the rear windows.

Towards the end of 1964, the height of the side windows and windscreen grew slightly, giving the cabin a less pinched look; this coincided with the introduction of a very slightly curved 'panoramic' windscreen.

The same body appeared throughout 1966, with a 1300cc engine in place of the 1200cc engine; it was only in the 1973 model Super Beetle that it displayed an obviously curved windscreen.

It has been regarded as something of a 'cult' car since its 1960's association with the hippie movement and surf culture.
