Hence the Volkswagen name, which translates to \u201cpeople\u2019s car\u201d. Nearly two years later, the first vehicle sporting the famously rounded shape made its debut. This special shaping helped with aerodynamics and would allow the car to remain stable on the high-speed Autobahn that had been recently built. The car also featured an air-cooled (to prevent freezing) engine placed in the rear end.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.joesautosales.com\/blog\/should-you-warm-up-your-used-vehicle-cold-outside\/\"><em><strong>Should I Warm Up My Used Vehicle in the Winter?<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After World War Two, the Volkswagen factory was repaired (due to severe damage sustained during the war) and the Type 1 began to be mass produced. This car, which would be named the Beetle by American drivers, made its way to the United States in 1949, though major sales did not start until the mid-1950s.<\/p>\n<p>The Volkswagen Beetle is one of the longest-running nameplates and best-selling vehicles in automotive history thanks to its top-notch quality and distinct exterior. This beloved car\u2019s exterior has not changed much over the years and still sports two doors, round headlights, and a rounded hood (in coupe or convertible format).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.joesautosales.com\/clp-buy-here-pay-here-used-car-dealership-indianapolis-in\"><em><strong>We are a Buy Here Pay Here Dealership!<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Check out this collage of Volkswagen Beetle models from various years:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogmedia.dealerfire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/451\/2016\/12\/JAS-Beetle-Love-Collage_m.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-428\" src=\"http:\/\/blogmedia.dealerfire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/451\/2016\/12\/JAS-Beetle-Love-Collage_m.jpg\" alt=\"Collage of Volkswagen Beetles over the years\" width=\"1075\" height=\"1075\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Used Volkswagen Beetle for Sale Near Indianapolis, IN<\/h3>\n<p>While relatively inexpensive when brand new, you can save even more when you purchase a used Volkswagen Beetle from Joe\u2019s Auto Sales.
