The Volkswagen Beetle line is nicknamed the “old beetle” due to its unique shape resembling a beetle lying on the ground. These beetles were imported into Vietnam before the reunification period and became a luxurious means of transportation for the wealthy.
Even after more than half a century, these models are still beloved as “play cars”. In Hanoi, enthusiasts of the Volkswagen Beetle (VW) gather to form the Hanoi Beetle Club.
Recently, they showcased this fleet of cars at an event in Hanoi. Some notable names include Karmann Ghia, VW Thing, and Bus Kombi.
