Betcha y’all didn’t know 211

[953 nut 67,498]

July 30, 2003, the last of 21,529,464 Volkswagen Beetles built since World War II rolls off the production line at Volkswagen’s plant in Puebla, Mexico. One of a 3,000-unit final edition, the baby-blue vehicle was sent to a museum in Wolfsburg, Germany, where Volkswagen is headquartered.

On another note, in july of 2019 production of the newest version of the Beetle had ceased. A far more celebratory event. Good riddance.

Never liked the front engine bug, just didn't seem right. Now they are producing the VW Microbus as an all electric unit, not too impressed, just another van.

The word on the street is that VW decided against importing the new E-lectric van to the US. No great loss....

Yup, seems the waterless wonder could not pass US Emissions, so enter the "New Beetle"....
