After roughly seven decades of production and three generations of designs, Volkswagen is retiring its iconic Beetle, CNN reported on Wednesday.
The last bugs that VW will produce were set to roll off the assembly line in Puebla, Mexico, on Wednesday. The company was to celebrate the Beetle's discontinuation with a ceremony at the factory.
Its legacy harkens back to the 1930s, when Ferdinand Porsche, the prolific engineer behind the famed luxury vehicle brand, decided to design a People's Car - or Volkswagen in German. Porsche designed the vehicle at the behest of Adolf Hitler but the Volkswagen car didn't enter full production until after World War II.
