Last of the VW air-cooled engines
to roll off the assembly line (with the classic VW Kombi minibus) in Brazil this Friday. Wow! I had no idea these vehicles were still in production. I knew the old air-colled VW Beetle was still being made in Mexico up until fairly recently, but I had forgotten about VW's Brazilian factory...
"It's the end of a very long era," said Ivan McCutcheon, editor of Britain's VolksWorld magazine for fans of the vans and now-out-of production VW traditional beetles. "The VW air-cooled engine has been perhaps the greatest produced engine in numbers the world has seen. "
