So, I know this is supposed to be a blog focusing on innovation, technology, and hopefully the convergence of the two. That is why this story is tagged under "Volkswagen"; The original Volkswagen, the type 1, or Beetle, was filled with innovation, and used technology from the latest in aerospace at the time. It was an incredible car for what it was designed to do, and was in production from 1938 until 2003 - 65 years.
