Kijk eens naar dit ding! Dit is een originele Acapulco-model, een van de slechts 400 hiervan gemaakte modellen door VW. De Acapulco-editie is Volkswagen's versie van de Fiat Jolly, maar functioneel. Het resort Las Brisas in Acapulco had een vloot van deze besteld, er zijn er al weinig van gemaakt en er zijn er nog minder van die de tand des tijds overleefd hebben. De metalen halfdeuren van alle Things zijn eenvoudig te verwijderen voor Jeep-achtige avonturen.

Sieh dir dieses Ding an! Dies ist ein Original Acapulco Modell, eines der einzigen 400 Modelle von VW. Die Acapulco Edition ist Volkswagens Version des Fiat Jolly, aber funktional. Das Resort Las Brisas in Acapulco hatte eine Flotte von diesen bestellt, es wurden bereits wenige gemacht und es gibt noch weniger von denen, die den Test der Zeit überstanden haben. Die Metall-Halbtüren aller Dinge sind für Jeep-ähnliche Abenteuer leicht zu entfernen.

Look_at this Thing! What an absolute blast. This is a genuine original Acapulco model, one of only 400 of these made by the factory..Acapulco Edition Things are Volkswagens take on the perfectly named Fiat Jolly, but made functional thanks to the utility of the top. Las Brisas resort in Acapulco had ordered up a fleet of these, and the Acapulco Editions are a dead match. The metal half-doors on all Things are easily removable for Jeep-like adventures.

About Volkswagen
The Volkswagen story is indeed an intriguing tale of innovation, resilience, and post-war revival, marked by various models that have become iconic in automotive history.The People's Car (Volkswagen): Initially envisioned by Adolf Hitler in the 1930s as a "people's car" or "Volkswagen" in German, the idea was to create an affordable and practical vehicle for the German people. This concept led to the development of the Volkswagen Beetle (or the Type 1), designed by Ferdinand Porsche.
Post-War Challenges: After World War II, Volkswagen faced significant challenges. The factory was heavily damaged, and the brand's association with the Nazi regime led to a lack of interest in the car in some regions.
British Intervention - The British Army & Ivan Hirst: The British Army took control of the factory in the immediate post-war period. Major Ivan Hirst, a British Army officer, played a crucial role in reviving Volkswagen. He recognized the potential of the Beetle and advocated for its production, convincing the British military to order several thousand cars. This decision helped jumpstart the brand's revival.
Export Success and the Beetle's Global Appeal: The Beetle gained popularity not only in Germany but also globally, becoming an icon of affordable motoring. Its simple, reliable design and unique appearance made it a favorite among consumers worldwide.
Model Evolution: Over the years, Volkswagen introduced various models alongside the Beetle, each contributing to the brand's growth:
Type 2 (VW Bus or Transporter): Introduced in the 1950s, it became an iconic symbol of the hippie movement in the 1960s, loved for its spaciousness and versatility.
Golf (Rabbit in the U.S.): Launched in the mid-1970s, the Golf (or Rabbit in the U.S.) marked a shift towards front-wheel-drive, modern design, and hatchback practicality, becoming a cornerstone of the brand's success.
Passat, Jetta, and Other Models: Volkswagen expanded its lineup with models like the Passat and Jetta, catering to different market segments.
Challenges and Innovations: Despite success, Volkswagen faced challenges, including quality issues in the 1970s. However, the brand continued to innovate and develop new models and technologies.
Rise of the GTI and Global Expansion: The 1980s saw the rise of the iconic Golf GTI, a high-performance version that sparked the hot hatch trend. Volkswagen also expanded its global presence during this period.
The British intervention in reviving Volkswagen after World War II played a pivotal role in the brand's resurgence. While there might have been some tensions or competition among automotive companies in the 1950s and 1960s due to Volkswagen's post-war success, the brand's ability to produce innovative and popular models solidified its place in automotive history.
