My Mother had a 1962 Beetle that looked exactly like this one here. Unfortunately she had a growing family, and the car became too small to fit everyone. In 1967 she traded it in at the Volkswagen dealer for a 1965 split window bus. The bus stayed in the family until 1995 when it finally was sold. All of us in the family remember riding in that beetle. Mother said years later she wished she still had it, and never should have traded it in. She also said we should have just bought the bus outright. For years mother always said she wondered what happened to that red bug. The bug left a permanent spot in her heart that she never forgot. That bug also got a lot of use while we had it. Mother also had a family friend who was a VW mechanic who bought a 1956 beetle in 1956 for $1,200.00 at a VW dealer. In 1976 he came to our house with the same 1956 beetle bought in 1956. 20 years later the beetle was still running but now it had traveled over 1,000,000 miles. He then told us how he got 400,000 miles on one engine, and was able to take the motor out in 30 minutes. VW made things simple back then.

You never forget your first Beetle.

[@tapper701]

A 1961 Beetle that had a gas gauge and a push button motor cover - not found on a typical 1961 model.

[@edlinke2368]

thats what love is all about

[@davidbaldwin2729]

lovely story, sweet bug. I just finished restoring a '61 bug that I got last year in South Carolina and brought back home to Indiana. They are so much fun, glad that yours is back home. The most exciting bugs to drive are the ones before gas gauges. cheers

[@saraaronzon4562]

What a wonderful story!

[@SupremeVdubs]

I drive a 64 every day and it is something about them and a lot of people have stories about them. Just yesterday I met a guy from the Philippines, who was telling me his dad had a 67 and they sold it and years later he found it and bought it back.. it was the only car his dad ever owned

[@58raceguy]

Wonderful story, this really made me smile. The first Beetle purchase in our family was a 1966 that my dad bought in the late ‘60s. He traded that in on a new 1970 and it started a chain of numerous Beetles that many of us in the family purchased, four of them just myself. There are lots of special cars, but I don’t know if there’s a single model of car that has generated more family stories than the VW Beetle. Maybe so, but I don’t know what it would be. My wife and I are both getting up in years now, but we would still like to put another Beetle back in our driveway, maybe in Java Green like she drove for years.

[@peterf1]

What a beautifully made video! That's an amazing story.

This writer owned several 'bugs', two vans, a Ghia and the station wagon. I so wanted to like them all, and I ended up HATING them all! A 40hp engine in the USA is pathetic, ANY hill of some size and you are going 30 in a 55mph zone. The bus was worse; uphill at 10mph. This story is a testament to the Power of Nostalgia and Mythology. These are terrible, but cute, cars.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear hametta .. 👍👌👏 Exactly! Driving an old VW Bus on a straight line is almost impossible! They're extremely unsafe when having an accident. Additionally they're loud, rust like hell, have no real heating, have always been slow and underpowered but nevertheless use relatively much gasoline. No real oil filter, very often problems with the 3rd cylinder, no really usable trunk space and in most bugs you smell gasoline inside! I'm a German and I almost hate VW bugs. It's a car concept out of the 1930's !!! and should have been modernized in the 1950's but in the 1960's at latest! Unfortunately CEO Nordhoff was against that and threw away all new/better designs. And there had been a lot! In the 1970's the Golf/Rabbit fortunately changed everything (although I don't liked them too). 😁 ;-) Best regards, luck and health in particular.

​@@Chr.U.Cas1622My mother had a 1965 bus for 27 years, and there never was a problem with the #3 cylinder. The engine was a 1500, and it had a big bore. The problem with the #3 cylinder started with the 1600 dual port engine. The 1600 dual port dropped valves down into the #3 cylinder, and you had to keep an eye on the compression. My mother also had a 1962 bug like the one here and it was a good car. We also had a 1971 bus with the 1600 dual port motor, and that one was the worst car ever. A family friend was a VW mechanic, and he had a 1956 bug he drove for 20 years, and put over 1,000,000 miles on it. He also told us one motor went over 400,000 miles, and how he could remove the engine in 30 minutes. I am surprised that VW made the original Beetle from 1938 to 2003. That was the longest production of a single car platform on record. The last original Beetle rolled off the assembly line in Mexico in 2003. Almost 22 million beetles were built and sold.
