History of the Volkswagen Beetle

After nearly 33 years, the last German-made Beetle rolled out of the Emden, Germany plant on January 19th, 1978. In total, 16,255,550 Beetles were made there.

But the Beetle continued to be produced internationally until 2003 when the last Mexican-built Beetle rolled off the assembly line, marking the end of the original Beetle's 65 year run.
