In its inaugural year in the United States in 1949, Volkswagen reports the sale of only two cars. However, within the following two decades, the vehicle experienced a surge in popularity, earning the nickname Beetle in 1969. Developed into one of the most iconic cars ever made, the Beetle emerged as a symbol of post-war America, particularly associated with the '60s and '70s hippie movement. Volkswagen credits the Beetle's widespread appeal to a series of 1959 print advertisements created by a New York agency, featuring a small Beetle with the caption "Think small." Despite its discontinuation in 2019, the Beetle endures as a German symbol on American roads.

The Volkswagen Beetle's origin traces back to Adolf Hitler's vision of a "people's car" during World War II, resulting in the Type 1's initial production. The war shifted manufacturing to military vehicles, but post-war, British officer Ivan Hirst recognized the car's potential. Under German engineer Heinrich Nordhoff's leadership, the Type 1 transitioned into mass production, becoming the iconic Beetle.
