VW Fan? Volkswagen Collector and Fun Items

Volkswagen has two of the most iconic and well-known vehicles ever manufactured: the VW Beetle (also affectionately known as the “Bug”) and the VW Bus. Unfortunately, the end of the road has come for both beloved vehicles (for the moment…)

After 80 years, the end of the Beetle is drawing near. Volkswagen recently announced that it will end production of the Bug. Volkswagen will release to last models of the Beetle, the Final Edition SE and the Final Edition SEL in 2019.

The last Volkswagen Bus was manufactured in 2013, but in an exciting turn of events, Volkswagen is resurrecting a NEW version of the Microbus in 2022! The new Microbus, the I.D. Buzz, will be powered by an all-electric drivetrain.
