Volkswagen’s last Beetle rolls off the factory floor this week

Michael McLaren

Michael talks to Phil Mathews, editor of Club VeeDub Sydney Magazine, regarding the beloved Volkswagen Beetle that will cease production this week after a long history spanning the eight decades since 1938.

Though extremely successful in the 1960s, experiencing its greatest sales growth in North America between 1960 and 1965, the Beetle was increasingly faced with stiff competition from more modern designs globally.
