Was just watching the trailer for the movie "Don't worry, he won't get far on foot" and saw the upside down beetle. The movie opens tomorrow at the 2018 Sundance film festival. Looks great, excellent John Lennon song in the opening soundtrack

The Hitcher, 1986:

"What do you want??"
(Laughing) "That's what the other guy said."
"What other guy?"
"The guy driving that car back there. The guy who picked me up before you did."
"Was that him in the car?"
"Sure it was. He couldn't have walked very far."
"Why's that?"
"Because I cut off his legs... and his arms... and his head. And, I'm gonna do the same to you."

Shocked

In addition to the Abbey Road cover, there is another Beetle/Beatle connection, in the opening credits of A Hard Day's Night, parked at the right.

Hard to believe this movie was not mentioned yet- The yellow '72 Super Beetle Karmann Cabriolet in "The Groove Tube", c 1974; starting at approx. 5 1/2 minutes. Although the highway looks to be the Palisades Parkway on the west side of the Hudson River in northern NJ just before the NY border, it could also be the Taconic Parkway in NY.

Likely this has been mentioned before, but I just saw this film tonight: 10 to Midnight (1983) starring Charles Bronson.

The serial killer drove a 1973 Super Beetle sedan, blue, in nice shape. This was in quite a few scenes.

Jeopardy "answer" a couple of days ago:

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.


The contestant gave the possibly incorrect response: "What is Volkswagen?"

As many of you know, "volkswagen" (uncapitalized) was a common description of several cars intended to be cheap. It was not unique to the VW we know and love.

At that time, the car itself was known as the KdF-Wagen. The name Volkswagen came later, in the early 1940s.

I was hoping the contestant was a VW nut and would have answered "KdF-Wagen" and correct Mr. "always right" Trebeck!

The factory cornerstone was laid in May of 1938, so the "company" may have predated it, back into 1937..
Wiki states:
Quote:
"On May 28, 1937, Gesellschaft zur Vorbereitung des Deutschen Volkswagens mbH ("Company for the Preparation of the German Volkswagen Ltd."), or Gezuvor for short, was established by the Deutsche Arbeitsfront in Berlin. More than a year later, on September 16, 1938, it was renamed to Volkswagenwerk GmbH,"
so maybe the term "Volkswagen" was truly used.

However, the same article states:
Quote:
"By 1946, the factory produced 1,000 cars a month—a remarkable feat considering it was still in disrepair. Owing to roof and window damage, production had to stop when it rained, and the company had to barter new vehicles for steel for production.[citation needed]

The car and its town changed their Second World War-era names to "Volkswagen" and "Wolfsburg" respectively, and production increased."


Jalopnik is not always 100% correct, but they state:
Quote:
The Company

So how about the Volkswagen company itself, the company you can buy cars from to this day — wasn’t that created by the Nazis, at least? The answer? No, not really.

See, when Hitler decided he wanted a people’s car (not his idea), and got Porsche to design it (basing it heavily on the ideas of others), he needed a factory to build it and an organization to run it. The organization was called Kraft durch Freude which sounds scary in German but is even creepier in English: Strength-through-Joy.

Kraft durch Freude (KdF) was the German leisure organization, organizing tourist trips and resorts and probably prostitutes, if you knew who to ask. The people’s car was seen as a way to improve the quality of life of German citizens, and so the car was renamed the KdF-Wagen and a savings-stamp scheme was started to let people save up for a car.

A whole town was built, called Stadt des KdF-Wagens bei Fallersleben, which means, “City of the KdF Car at Fallersleben.”


and they have this photo:

I wonder if Disney had to secure rights to plaster that big VW symbol on-screen.

That 'vehicle' was a creation, not a regular car.

ABSOLUTELY! The emblem is clearly displayed. And VW was in the list of manufacturers in the credits.

Not sure if it's been posted (I did do a search on this topic) but at the beginning of the Star Trek episode "Patterns of Force" where the planet has adopted the Nazi political system, there's a VW Kubelwagon that drives away from the headquarters. Perhaps it's just a spanking new VW Thing, this episode was from 68, first year of production. Product placement perhaps?
