The KdF-Wagen reached its production "form" in 1938 with a 985ccm  engine. 
In the 1943 model year, the car received an 1131ccm engine  (something already in the military K�belwagen from 1939  onward).
 
This reproduction brochure was sold by Automuseum Wolfsburg in  1998, upon the 60th anniversary of the 1938 model year.
