1970 Volkswagen Beetle

1970 Volkswagen Beetle

Volkswagen’s Beetle is one of the oldest nameplates in automotive history still in use today. In the U.S., the Bug was sold between 1950 and 1979, with sales resuming as a new model was introduced in 1998. But the little VW’s history stretches all the way back to 1934, when development work started in earnest in Germany.

Key changes for American and European 1970 Volkswagen Beetle models included an engine increased to 1600 cc (as on Type 3), and horsepower increased to 57. The models also adopted an ignition-key warning buzzer and larger front turn signals.
