    Another great video. I would say the engine, the sound of the engine and the interior smell are unique in this vehicle. All aircooled VW's are owesome. Thanks for the video. 👍👍

    My favorite part, growing up in a VW family, was my dad giving me his '67 20 years ago, its still my only car and I drive it every day.

  • @johnpoirier5626

    For me, it's the sound of the horn, a simple feature that embodies the personality of the car better than anything else.📯😏

    It's a good thing they were easy to work on. They took a certain amount of tinkering to keep them running after 60 or 70k. Of course you could rebuild it in your driveway over a weekend.

    I was born 1966. About 1970 my parents and I were in our light blue beetle at Misquamicut, RI and we got stuck in the beach as the sun went down. Some hippies walked up and said they would give a hand. Dad said ok and went to get out and they closed the door on him, picked up the car and walked us out to the pavement about 10 ft away.

    Loved the Bug. Someting from the 70s I saw now and then was the tall hood with the Rolls Royce grill. It seems extinct and forgotten now. I don't know why. It probably doubled the storage space.

    I have owned over 90 air cooled VW's of different flavors and I think their best feature is that they are very easy to work on.
    No water pumpers for me.

    All these features together have resulted in not just - according to the standards of the time - a somewhat funny looking car, but into a concept that survived basically unchanged from its early beginnings in 1938 right on to the first years of the 21st century and turned out to be able to put the whole world on wheels and was produced in the vast quantity of more than 21.000.000 units. No other car could equal that to this day…a true historic landmark.

  • @snugbug-n6x
    @snugbug-n6x 5 месяцев назад +2

    To me all u mentioned are the key characteristics of Beetles. After getting a relatively very new manual car which has 6 speeds and 150 + hp, I now believe a very important reason and characteristic of the original bugs charm and mechanical success is the low hp with its 4 rangey gears. 50 or 60 plus hp is ample and sufficient to get about. Actually it is perfect !
    150 plus is a crazy amount. TOO much. 50 to 60 is just right.

    The bug was a car that people could buy, they were simple and most times reliable. The heat in the winter was a little cruel . The ones that i knew of with AC never wotked for long. The thing is that the bug could get you to and from and was reliable transportation. The supper Beatles were good but not as good as before. Many older bugs became Doom buggies

    Funny thing, at the end of the video an ad played for the complete antithesis of the Beetle: the Hummer EV. Huge, heavy, expensive, complicated, likely to be completely unreliable, and with the aerodynamics of a brick, the least efficient EV you can buy 😀
