The Volkswagen Beetle was built to be 'the peoples car'. It was economical, durable, and reliable. Many servicemen who were returning back to the States brought this car back with them. Soon, the little Volkswagen Beetle had built a reputation for itself in the United States as being a very practical car. The placement of the air-cooled engine meant it was capable of traveling in the winter weather due to most of the weight being over the rear driving wheels. More than 17 million examples were imported into the United States from Germany during its 41-year import lifespan. During that time, the VW Bug experienced only minor changes, both mechanically and aesthetically.
