1962 Volkswagen Beetle

The Beetle was a masterpiece of innovation and economics—it was compact, but practical, and inexpensive to buy and maintain. The car's curved exterior not only gave it a groundbreaking look, but was aerodynamic, too. Rear-wheel drive and its small stature gave the Beetle excellent handling, particularly when compared to the American land yachts of its day, and the innovative air-cooled engine required less maintenance and was easy to fix. Truly, a recognizable shape that has stood the test of time. – vw.com
