This was the car that started the import invasion. It was an engineering marvel for the time that included simplicity, reliability and economy. Young people (especially students) needed a car like that so they bought them by the millions. Student loans were what you got from your parents so they packed up their VW\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s and headed off to college; and concerts. They would stuff these compacts and make weekend run driving non-stop for hundreds of miles to see their favorite band. They loved to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153personalize\u00e2\u20ac\u009d their rides with poster paint and thus was born; the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Flower Power\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Bug. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the Modeler:<\/span><\/b> This kit owes its origins to a 1968 release from Revell as the 3n1 kit H:1264:200. That kit included the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Inch Pincher Too\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Rally car and some of those parts are still offered here. Released again in 1998 as the 60\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Beetle; this \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Luv Bug\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is cuter than ever and is still readily available at garage sales and auction sites. This kit\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s tooling has been around a long time so there is a lot of flash on the parts to deal with. This is a skill level 2 kit with 115 pieces molded in white and clear pieces with chrome plated parts and black vinyl tires.\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
