July 30, 2003 –
The last ever ‘old style‘ Volkswagen Beetle, #21,529,464, rolled off the assembly line at the Volkswagen de Mexico manufacturing plant in Puebla, Mexico on this date. The classic Volkswagen Beetle was produced in Mexico from 1955 where it was used as a taxi.
The Mexican government effectively ended the Beetle’s production because street gangs would often raid two-door cars as the passenger in the back couldn’t escape.
