Jan 19, 1978 -

The last Volkswagen Beetle made in Germany left VW's plant in Emden.

Beetle production in Latin America (Mexico) continued until 2019.

*Historical context:

The legendary Volkswagen Beetle was designed by Ferdinand Porsche before the second world war in response to Hitler's demand for a people's car for Germany.

Once one of the most popular car in the wolrd, Beetle was sold over 22 million worldwide.
