History and interesting facts:

The VW Beetle—known as the "Fusca" in Brazil and the "Beetle" in other markets—is one of the most popular cars in history. The year 1953 marked a major design shift: the "Split Window" was replaced by the "Oval Window," which improved visibility and gave the car a more modern look. This version was produced until 1957, making these transitional models—bridging the gap between the Split and Oval window eras—particularly prized by enthusiasts.
