Volkswagen Beetle 1200 (1960), Hachette, 1:24, blue

Few cars are as instantly recognizable as the Volkswagen Beetle — a symbol of durability, charm, and global mobility. The 1960 VW Beetle 1200 featured subtle refinements over earlier models while retaining its signature shape, rear-mounted air-cooled engine, and unmatched character.

This 1:24 scale die-cast model by Hachette captures the 1960 edition of the Beetle with exceptional accuracy. From its rounded fenders and oval headlights to the chrome bumpers and classic steel wheels, every detail reflects the Beetle’s minimalist yet iconic design. The interior features a period-correct dashboard, steering wheel, and seating layout that made the Beetle both simple and practical.

Whether you’re a lifelong VW enthusiast, a collector of post-war European cars, or simply drawn to enduring design, this Beetle 1200 is a must-have in any 1:24 scale display. It’s more than a car — it’s a piece of cultural history on four wheels.

A beloved classic, faithfully miniaturized.
