Sitting at a restaurant table in Munich in the summer of 1932, a man of immense power and force designed the prototype for what would become the world-famous Volkswagen Beetle. This man believed that everybody should be able to own a car, and that every family should be able to holiday, recreate and most of all drive in style.
Adolf Hitler. Artist, dictator, mass murderer, designer of what has arguably become the world's most popular car... a man of many talents.
Despite it's seedy beginnings, there is no doubt the the VW is one hell of a car. Some of these babies are over 50 years old and still huffing and puffing their way up the Hume Highway.
Yes, Volkswagen has produced some pretty amazing automobiles. You've got your Kombis, Karmann Ghias, Polos, not to mention Herbie, that adorable Love Bug.

They even have Beetle merchandise! My gosh they truly are an amazing make of cars.
Night!
