Developed as a 'People's Car', the literal translation from German, the Beetle would be assembled in over 60 countries. With over 21 million examples produced of the original Beetle design, it is by far the most popular car the world has ever seen. In 1999, it was designated as one of the four most important vehicles ever produced, in company with the Citroen DS, the Mini and Ford's Model T.
The basic design from the 1930's came to the end of its road in 2004, with the final 'Bugs' coming off the line at Volkswagen's Mexican assembly facility.
In 1969, the Dalton Copilo S.A. dealership started its partnership with Volkswagen. Upon hearing that the Beetle's end was near, Copilco approached the factory with a request for the last 200 cars to be special edition. To commemorate the dealers 1969 start-up year, he asked for these last cars to use OEM 1969 platform, trims and touches as possible from the year the dealership was founded. Thus was born the '1969 Copilco' edition.
This vehicle is a '1969 Copilco' edition and is finished in dark blue. It has the styling touches from the end of the 1960's but uses Volkswagen's most advanced technologies of day including electronic ignition, fuel-injection and modern engine electronics. Currently the odometer shows just under 34,500 miles from new.
