my mother grew up in Stuttgart and Neckarsulm during these years. said many times they would hear the prototypes coming down the road as they had a unique sound. many times they would stop in the area for a meal . always had people interested in the vehicles.
Interesting movie, newer seen it before. I have a -58 convertible bought in the eighties as a daily driver. As i dont use it anymore i planned to rebuild it as a replica of a V2 convertible so these pictures are really valuable. Nice with swedish music too :-)
Zarah Leander sings „Das gibts nur einmal, das kommt nicht wieder“ Music from Werner Richard Heymann. The german Version is sung by Lilian Harvey in the Film „ der Kongress tanzt“from. 1932!
@@jerrygomezjr601 Thanks for your comment! In fact its not an all original -58. Back in the eighties i wanted a more modern car so i replaced the 30 hp engine and gearbox with a 34hp engine and all syncronized gearbox. Newer rear lights as the original semaphore turn indicators are rather dangerous in modern traffic. My regular car broke down in october so i have used it as a daily driver during the winter. Its cold ,noisy high gas consumtion -But- reliably. Only one day when it was minus 20 C the starter motor refused to kick in. But a friend who pulled a rusty 1950 model to the junk jard gave me the crank an corresponding nut from that car and with at little gas right down in the carburettor and with a few turns on the crank to fill up the cylinders and after that the ignition on it usually hits om first attempt :-)
@@bennyhannover9361 Thank you for your interesting answer! Zarah Leander was actually from my home town . She had a career i Germany before the war and sang in both Swedish and German. I saw her singing back in the seventies, she had an amazing voice.
The volkswagen has an engine quite different in layout and power/ displacement. Different enough to give each their due because you must accept how primitive driving conditions were. Germany had DKW also known for good engineering in the forward position in the vehicle. I'd like to learn more about the NSU that had some VW styling que's.
Ledwinka was a Sudetendeutschen as weil as Porsche both have been prosecuted after WW2 .The first one by the czech communists because he didnt cooperate. Porsche was arrested by the french allied forces because he was accused of being a nazi.

I drove a friend's 1948 Tatra T87- It was like the Volkswagen from hell! You could sure feel the weight of that rear-engined V8 on curves pulling you in odd directions. My friend also owned a pre-war right hand drive T77 limousine that was difficult to drive as he could not turn corners on city streets easily as the turning radius was so large. He said it was one of 3 left in the world and maybe the only one on the road.

"Porsh eh" is probably more correct. It's a German surname and the E is pronounced. Having said that no English speaker pronounces Volkswagen as "folks vahgen" (people's car) which is the correct German pronounciation. It's a bit like the British pronounciation of Jaguar "jag yu ah" versus the American "jag wah"
@@michaelhalsall5684 It's interesting how the Brits pronounce certain words. A friend in the U.K, a train buff calls the Canadian train builder bom bar dear like a guy in an airplane. I told him it's bom bar dee ay because that was how the man who started the company pronounced his name. Armond Bombardier, a Quebecer. My friend didn't really want to hear it but he says it that way now.
I would love to see as I have previously said mucho simplicity on things just the basics we need life would be mucho nicer as to why we complicate things I just donot understand
Was ist denn das für eine komische Sprache , in der das deutsche Lied " Das gibt's nur einmal " gesungen wird ? Erinnert an die deutsch klingende Phantasiesprache aus dem Charlie Chaplin Film " DER GROßE DIKTATOR "

Cute cars, but I'm only here for the music! 😂
we need a 4k transfer of this film
An original prototipe of this today was the most valious car in the world.
Sensacional. Um dos melhores filmes de Fusca que assisti

Que Maravilha de vídeo, sou apaixonado por carros antigos, de qualquer parte do mundo. Volkswagen dá Alemanha.
Nice music :D
It seems like most of the prototypes had the " suicide " type doors.
@ 3.20 . WHATS THAT BIKE IN THE BACKGROUND ?

Actually, a lot of the Beetles technic was "inspired" by the Czech Tatra.
The Beetle was a very modern and spacious car for the money at this time.
It's interesting that the author of this video is using the "Latvian" word for "beetle". SVEIKI!!!
Un dzied Zarah Leander, kas vācu valodu iemācījās Rīgā.
Muito legal!!
A profesor samo gleda, a jesam li je plagiro-prepiso svaka mi cast.
Muito legal gostei ☝️😜👍
WOW !
Hasn't changed that much but looks fine buggyish with headlights on hood on few
Screws with my mind that these bugs were in production my entire life until I was 22… that should date me
All of that ledwinka Genius at work there. 😁

Why is the song swedish
Happier times.
It is a german film Melody from 1932 sung by Zarah Leander who was an acting singer for UFA during the thirties
Is there any of these beauties alive?
It seems this is the oldest th-cam.com/video/0fRK7WbBVJ4/w-d-xo.html
It has an organic shape that later Beetles lacked.

Svenska skinnen ... Swedish

Look closely and you should see the Tatra badge!
Early VW Prototypes 1935 - 1936 has been copy after Tatra V570, same shape and motor construction. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatra_V570
Mad warlords ruined everything
Sounds like German kartoon musik
It is a song sung in swedish by Zarah Leander, a swedish singer and actor...
Assim nasceu a Porsche, não concorda, pesquise!
Stolen design from Tatra cars!
Maybe..
No different than the Russians after World War II Making the AK 47 from stolen Sturmgier Weapon that the Germans made towards the end of World War II.
@@garyquail4996 or bmw motorcycle
And stoken from an prototype of skoda.
The “genius” Porsche could only steal the design of his master, Hand Ledwinka of Tatra fame. What a despicable history.
