Volkswagen Sedan, 1950
01
Artifact Overview
Volkswagen's Type 1 Beetle sedan was different. Its compact size and rear-mounted, air-cooled engine set it apart from American cars. The Beetle appealed to a different type of American consumer -- one who favored thrifty practicality over flashy style. VW sold more than 21 million units during the car's 65-year production run.
