Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) will be organizing the Beetle, An Iconic Gathering. The event will be considered to be the first official Volkswagen Beetle gathering in Malaysia as VPCM is the official distributors of Volkswagen here. This upcoming event welcomes the participation of Beetle owners from all walks of life in celebration of this automotive and style icon. It will be held at the open-air carpark at the Palace of Justice in Putrajaya this 13th of July 2019.
With this event, Volkswagen and VPCM will be attempting to break the current Malaysian record of the largest Beetle gathered at one location during the event and is calling out to all owners of the classic and current Beetle to come on that day and participate in what may be a notable milestone in Malaysian Volkswagen history.
The original Beetle was designed by Ferdinand Porsche in 1938 and is considered by many to be the original automotive icon. It has enjoyed more than 80 years of success and a fantastic history that deserves to be known by everyone. From something that started out as a 'People's Car' just before Wolrd War II to something that was part of the flower-power peace revolution of the 1960s and early 1970s to selling over 21.5 million units sold globally.
This is also in conjunction with the fact that 2019 also marks the final production year of the current, second generation New Beetle. So VPCM would like to have a memorable local send-off to the icon.
Erik Winter, Managing Director of VPCM said, “Volkswagen ends production of the much-loved Beetle this year, and we want to give this global bestseller the send-off it deserves by celebrating its legacy. We would like to invite owners and Beetle enthusiasts to the gathering to help us break the record and celebrate the world’s favourite Bug. This is a great opportunity for Beetle enthusiasts to admire classic and current Beetle models in all its incarnations, and with many of them personalised to match their owners’ colourful personalities.”
