"Timeline, War Factories, The People's Car" (2020).
1, 2. Postwar Type 82E (Beetle body on Kuebelwagen chassis with its different front axle spindles and rear axle reduction gears for increased ground clearance) for Control Commission of Germany (CCG) British factory control. One undergoing terrain testing, then a line of finished vehicles driving along the Wolfsburg factory's southern main building lane.
3. Oval-window going for the passing lane on the German Autobahn, passing a Renault 4CV at right. The 4CV's engine lid large vents were sometimes used for grafting onto Beetle lids. The 4CV had a 4-cyl. in-line ca. 750 cc water-cooled engine in the rear. The chromed "emblem" above the engine lid was the filler cap for the radiator coolant.
"WBCN and the American Revolution" (2019), about the Boston, Massachusetts-based rock music radio station in the 1960's. One Beetle shown driving in a period street scene, with another parked at right. |
