You wouldn't want to disappoint Uncle Adolf, would you?
> As the National Socialist Movement came to power in 1933, it seemed to me that this area was particularly well suited to open the campaign against unemployment: the problem of motorization! Here the German Volk was the most in arrears. Not only by comparison to production figures in America, but also in comparison to those of other European countries, the production of automobiles in Germany had remained at a ludicrously low level: barely forty six thousand cars a year! This did not correspond in the least to the motorization needs of the German Volk. It is only logical therefore that, in a time when seven million unemployed weighed down our life, there would have to be radical and immediate change in this area. >The first step toward motorization was a divorce from those precepts which claimed that a car was a luxury. Of course, this is true in a country where there are no more than two, three or four hundred thousand cars. However, the German Volk does not need two or three hundred thousand cars, it needs six or seven million! >At the time, I was told, “This is impossible!” My only reply to this is, “What is possible in other countries, is also possible in Germany.” I hate that word “impossible” since it has always been the mark of people not daring enough to make and to implement great decisions. >The automobile must become the means of transportation for the Volk! -Adolf Hitler, 1938
It's the Type 87 Kommandeurswagen. Basically a cross between a Kubelwagen, a Schwimmwagen, and a Beetle. 4 wheel drive, all the offroad things you'd get with a Kubelwagen, but with an actual roof over your head.
I have owned 5 pre 75 beetles and still own 3 of them. They are so easy to work on and amazing off road. With just a few after market bolt on parts you can jump up the hp too.

Also, new parts are still available and cheap as shit compared to parts for my truck.

I wish VW made Type 87s today. They only ever mass produced the regular old RWD model. It really is a damn shame, if they still made the original Beetle now I guarantee they'd pull out the 4WD card so all the suburban moms could have their 4WD. Priced 50% higher of course, but you wait for depreciation to hit.

>Hitler supported personal car ownership
Hitler literally idolised Henry Ford. Henry Ford was German, and literally changed America in the course of a decade, by going from horse and buggy to cars. Henry's Fords greatest invention was the assembly line. He was also very outspoken on the Jews and Zionism. Actually, Henry Ford wrote many palettes and books on Jews and Zionism, that were actually used as the foundation for Adolph Hitlers Mein Kampf. Mein Kampf may as well just be an iteration on Henry Fords writings. Apparently Hitler also had a big painting of Henry Ford in one of his offices. Hitler also adopted Henry Fords assembly line system to build tanks and weapons, which gave Germany an edge on other European countries, since their armies were still mostly on horses.
>tfw sold my beetles >tfw sold my 181 >tfw boomers have shot the prices through the fucking atmosphere and i'll never again enjoy the pleasure of wrenching on cheap, simple, reliable cars with an abundance of spare and after market parts available
Fuck everything.

There are stories that Henry Ford also was known for putting pamphlets about Zionism in the glove box of each Model T sold?
He was a big nosed jewish faggot and was inspired by Ford (one of the jews who supported his party), then he stole the idea from Tatra (your gay hivemind was mentionning this earlier on), then used the invasion of its country to avoid dealing with the consequences.
He was a jew and stole the idea from other people, maybe he was less insane and gay than your family nowadays, but still a jew.
Isaiah Miller
>He was a jew and stole the idea from other people
He was?
>and gay than your family nowadays
What the fuck does this even mean? It's like your brain just broke mid sentence.
He's talking about the Tatra V570, it's a prewar Czech car. Faggots like this hue think VW basically copied the Tatra design. You look at the two, yeah, there are some similarities in concept at least. The difference is VW actually bothered to style the car before production.

OK then. Maybe they did copy the design? Not saying they did or didn't. Henry Ford didn't invent the automobile, either. There were plenty of cars that existed before the Model T. But the Model T was the first to come off an assembly line, and to be mass produced in large numbers. Just like the Volkswagen.

I have one on a k5 blazer chassis, it used to be a show truck in the 90’s and it come up for scrap. I couldn’t say no.
Same here. I recently was looking to buy one because I missed the good old days of cruising around in mine, and was gutted by the insane prices they go for now.

The volkswagon and autobahn instantly created a comfortable middle class. The average worker could take his family on holiday vacations to fun destinations every weekend. Quality of life was never as good before or since.

Bikecucks want to replace the car. Not supplement, replace. Fuck /n/iggers
