In Italy it was named "Maggiolino Export", but till now no one car named "Maggiolino has officially been listed. It has been used as an added information (as a version or a trim) only. |

There are two different Beetles used in the movie. Look at the bumpers of the first thumbs and the last one compared to the three others. -- Last edit: 2014-08-01 09:20:51 |

Indeed. Thumbs 6,7,8 are 1968+ VW 1200. |

@electra225: A 1964 VW 1200 Limousine Export in Germany, would you be using another name in Italy? I mean in the advertising? VW 1200 Berlina Export? -- Last edit: 2014-08-01 11:30:28 |

The story is strange: I don't have any specific brochure of that period, but the name was used after the launch of the 1500 more than before. I have got a late 70s brochure just with the name "Maggiolino" in the cover. Even the advertising was so: at the launch of the Golf late in 1974 you could see a famous black & white picture of a Golf and a 1303 in with was written: "la nuova Golf si affianca al Maggiolino", translated "the new Golf is sold together with the Maggiolino (even though the 1303 was named "Maggiolone" as the 1302, by the "..one" ending in Italian means something bigger, for example gatto = cat; gattone = big cat). In the list by Quattroruote in the 60's the word Maggiolino was not mentioned, but it clearly appeared in the late 60's and 70's. I personally would use "Maggiolino" for any Beetle for Italy, but "Maggiolone" for 1302 and 1303 for the Italian market. Do you agree? -- Last edit: 2014-08-01 20:57:53 |

@electra225: Well we used the Norwegian nickname 'Boble' (Bubble) quite freely for any typ 1 as I grew up, yes. But according to other members (was it @ingo?) these names were used from the early '70s on. So I think this would be too early. Remember, there were for a long time only two Volkswagens, the typ 1 if you wanted an 'ordinary' car or the typ 2 for business or other needs. So in retrospect, when you bought a new Volkswagen, well, it was just that. A Volkswagen. Or Folkevogn by us. And everyone knew exactly what kind of a car you had bought.  |

To be precise: in/on the sales brochures. |
