Buggy

My travel bug's mission is to travel to the Pacific Northwestern United States and down and around into the Southwest before returning home to Jersey.
Please take lots of pictures of my little VW in our awesome national parks. I'd really like to visit the Grand Canyon one day myself. Until then, this Buggy can sight-see for me through your help. So the more pictures the better!
Thanks!

Regrettably, there is a dark beginning to the Beetle that everyone--- including Volkswagen--- wishes could be different. The car that later became the VW Beetle was financed by Adolf Hitler. Long before he seized power in 1933, he envisioned an inexpensive car that the typical German family could own and enjoy. The car could be driven along the sweeping highways that Hitler wanted to build throughout Germany. Once in power, he assigned the task of designing the car to famed automaker Ferdinand Porsche who shared a similar vision for such a car. By 1938, designs were completed, a factory site selected, and Hitler announced the car's name: The KdF-Wagen ("Kraft durch Freude" or "Strength through joy"). The name never became widely used by the German public. It was more commonly called the "Volkswagen," or "people's car." As it turned out, no common German citizen ever owned a Volkswagen while the Nazis were in power. By the outbreak of war in 1939, only about 630 cars had been built; nearly all went to Hitler and his military officers.

Mine is a '64 beetle but I'm not too sure. The Beetle was discontinued recently and it's last remaining factory in Mexico was closed down. Before they shut the doors forever on this great car a few were sold at high price to private collectors from the US. The beetle still lives on in the form of today's "New Beetle".
