Enter the realm of classic cars with this much loved and cherished 1982
Volkswagen Beetle, which is looking for a new home! This unique vehicle, while
sharing the lineage, is distinct from the model made famous in “The Love
Bug” series, where Herbie, a 1963 Model 117
Volkswagen Type 1 Beetle
, captured hearts worldwide with its
distinctive racing stripes and number 53. Unlike Herbie, this Beetle stands as
a testament to the later evolution of the iconic design, showcasing the
enduring allure of the Volkswagen legacy.

One impressive fact about the Volkswagen
Beetle is that it holds the title for the longest-running and most-manufactured
car of a single platform ever made. Production of the original Beetle design
started in 1938 and continued in some form until 2003. That’s a staggering 65
years of production, during which over 21 million units were manufactured
worldwide. This makes the Beetle one of the most recognizable and iconic cars
in the history of the automotive industry.
