On this very day way back in 1962 the VW Beetle overtook the Ford model T to become the most produced line of car! :D :D :D
Just heard that fact on 94.7.

That wasn't what I meant, but OK...

Henry said, when shown a Beetle and offered the bombed out VW factory after the war, "That car will never sell. Too small, too noisy." Ha!
