Revell VW Beetle

For many years, the Volkswagen Beetle was the car where it all began. Countless young people learned to drive with it, and countless individuals drove it as their first car in life. Over the years, improvements were continually made to the vehicle to keep the Beetle competitive. Even in 1968, the Beetle had standards that still made it competitive against its contemporaries. The former 1131 cc engine had now become a power unit with 1500 cc displacement and 44 hp. Disc brakes in the front and a new trailing arm rear axle kept this temperament in check. The headlights were now vertical, and the tank could be filled through a side flap.
