Wow fantastic , I am a Volkswagen lover since the day I was born and when I grew older Volkswagen was the best thing happened in my life it gave me so much knowledge about simplicity and seeing the first prototypes a pure simple German technology warms my heart ❤️
My First Car was a German made VW 1971. Manual Shift, Air cooled. It would be wonderful to have them back exactly how they used to make them. Best Car ever conceived by the human intellect.
We recently discovered another owner of our car and added a few blank spaces in our family tree. Check out our facebook.com/kdf41 page where you will find out new information very soon We are sending an air-cooled greeting to Brazil
I saw this beauty at Hessisch - what a joy. The book was very beautiful too but also very expensive. The 1938 prototype car was there too I think, so older than this one.
Hello, thank you for your comment. Yes, the book is not cheap, but we were uncompromising in the quality of printing, paper, binding, photography and design. Still, we tried to make the book as cheap as possible. Thank you for your support.
I agree, car is wonderful and read the book at Ben's in Belgium and decided I'd like a copy but in England it would be £250 so decided that would be better spent on my 65..... beautiful book though.
Great video! It's really comforting knowing that there's people that cares about this little pieces of history and wants to bring them back to life restoring them to its original state.
Dipozitiv I'd love to have your book. But even though you deserve the price for all the work and love you put into this project, $135 USD is way out of my price range.
Very nice car. I growe up in a 1960 Export, later in a 1500 Export from 1967. It was the normal car in Germany at this time. Greeting from Berlin, nice documentary👍👍👍👍
In 1967, at 18, I bought a 1954 'barndoor' van. Semaphore turn signals, no door locks. Or heat. Less power than my neighbor's riding mower. And with the 6 volt system, the cars behind me at night left a shadow in front of mine, with their brighter headlights. And the places that van took me! Slowly. The price? $80. (but most wages back then were under $1/hr. Still, it was only 2 weeks pay - like I had a job. I was a travelin' hippie!)
Is there ANY German supplier that can replicate the 1930's/1940's parts of this legendary KDF Wagen? It's no wonder we refer to the rear as "Darth Vader" it looks Epic! 😍 (Imagine THAT Darth Vader Star Wars theme track playing when this cat came down the Autobahn escorting Tanks and Hitler in World War 2; bone-chilling fear and awe). I know this little car's overwhelming success would have had Adolf Hitler turning in his grave, but nevertheless, he and Ferdinand Porsche would have had ONE thing to be proud of had he saw this. A huge thank you to the English for doing ONE thing right by keeping this little bug alive and not exterminating it - or so to speak.
Beautiful car, great story and restoration, a real pice of art. I own a 1972 beetle here in Brazil, it is my second beetle. My first beetle was a german 1967 in Costa Rica, Central America, I am still in contact with the owner and I will buy it back in the near future.
That sounds like a really nice story. There were also a few empty places in our lineage, but after a long time we managed to find another owner and fill in a few empty places. We will definitely make a few posts on our facebook.com/kdf41 We are sending an air-cooled greeting to Brazil
Hello Tom, thank you for the nice words. We have a book about this project, but only in english/czech language. Now we are planning a new version this book. Would you this book in german translation?
The Headlight covers (as shown here) were compulsory in Wartime, so that enemy aircraft (flying overhead) could not pick-out any roads during darkness. Or worse - shoot at you!
You will find the most details in our book, which describes almost every screw and most of the details typical of the year 1941. kdf41.com/produkt/book/

Tolle Darstellung, im Stil von damals gemacht, aber in Farbe! Leider habe ich den Text nicht verstanden, da ich kein tschechisch kann. Trotzdem 7 von 6 möglichen Punkten, da erstklassige Retrodarstellung mit individuellen Charakter!

Wenn Ihr Thema interessanter ist, schauen Sie sich andere KdF41-Videos an oder besuchen Sie facebook.com/kdf41. Nach einer Weile gibt es einen fertigen Eshop, in dem Sie ein Buch kaufen können, in dem alles ausführlich beschrieben wird. (Google Translator)
Sorry, I did not realize, that you used Google translator! I do not see english subtitels. But anyway this Video is very professional and the car overwhelming!

Exactly. This is the oldest series-produced survivor. Only prototypes are older.
What is the language spoken in this video?
Wow! Bravo! So well done!
I've had so many of these cars in my life. Even a dog could fix it (it hardly ever break, though).
Adorei o vídeo.
So what's with the headlight covers? Did they serve a purpose or are they just there to look cool?
These covers have their meaning. During World War II it was a duty to have these covers because in the night was ban on lights.
@@Dipoziti Interesting! My first thought on seeing them is how they manage to give one of the cutest and friendliest looking cars a slightly more sinister appearance. Feels appropriate for the era.
Bravo■■■■■!
Great idea and Design by Hitler and Porsche
beauty!
I feel bad for Paul though. He managed to keep the car safe from being completely destroyed in the war just for it to be taken from him.
Krásne šperky vykladané v roku 1941!
