This is Amazing... I was able to freeze key frames to shoot still photos off the monitor screen. To be published in UFO Digest soon.


I first read about this type of UFO aerial battle over Europe nearly 50 years ago, describing and onslaught of Foo Fighters flying in swarms and diving through US bomber formations. This footage is spectacular."

Total B.S., it is a good lesson as to what can be done with CGI and Hollywood special effects. Disinformation effort to waste our time and brains on visual graffiti.

It can take a "high speed" impact onto the roof of the car and not show one dent.

Now that is well built car (must be made of the an airplane black box)! :das

They must have made them better back then. I had a '64 and caved in the front end just sitting on it. Easy fix though.

Didn't think Beetles were produced untill after 1945. Seems like a waste of CGI.

1938 Mr. Porsche and Adolf brought VW into the world.

Too true. I've had 4, a bug, super beet, and two pop tops. I could drop an engine in less than ten min., and same to stick it back in the vans. It could be more poke and hope to stick the bugs engines back in.

I believe the cornerstone for the factory was laid in May 1938. Production was set for 1939, but the war got into the way (at that point other war time production took precedence). I think you will find ProblemChild is correct on the actual production re-starting in 1945, with full ramp up in 1946 under the watchful eye and guidance of the British.

I loved my old 1959 Beetle... with a "reserve tank" and no fuel gauge. It was a tank in the snow!

Yeah, I used to have to drop the engine every 7-8 weeks to adjust the lifters. Got pretty good at it too. Not all that hard to do really.

@Marvin- I had a fuel gauge but I had the reserve tank also. it was a savior many times. And you are correct, it was a tank. I think I spent as much time off road as on (hehe). It was awsome in the snow too. The one great thing, as long as you had a friend with you, you were never stuck in anything very long.

Love to have another old bug, but the price tag is way too high any more. I could of bought 4 or 5 of them back then for what they want now.

Who knew?

Did your 59 have the flip up turn signals on the door post? First time I saw one of those was in 64 Mexico City, thought that was so cool! Would love to have a 55 Karmann Kabriolett!

I always did that is situ, every two months with oil change. only dropped the engines when I need to change the heads usually between 30 to 50 thousand if I was lucky and hadn't been to ruff on them, maybe throwout bearing or some such.

The underframe for the carriage was used for the version that looked like a jeep and continued to be sold long after the war. The basic VW served well and my first two vehicles were the bus version. Without a real heater, driving them in Minnesota Winters was a challenge. I loved them, good memories.

Nothing that exciting on my old bug (the lever was on the steering wheel). It did have a "canvas sun-roof"...


@Dragonfire... Sometimes, you didn't need a friend. I ran it to empty once, I steered and pushed it to a gas station all by my lonesome (easy to do on level ground). Ah... the good ole days! I would be happy to have that old car back!
