The Volkswagen Golf (Rabbit) recently celebrated it’s 40th birthday!
Introduced on March 29, 1974 in Wolfsburg, West Germany, the VW Golf was produced to replace the air-cooled, rear-wheel drive VW Beetle.
Throughout four decades and seven-generations, the VW Golf has sold over 30 million vehicles worldwide, well ahead of the VW Beetle’s sales of 21.5 million.
It’s affordability, serviceability and classic design have made the Golf one of the most successful selling models for Volkswagen and one of the most likeable models to own for consumers.
Cheers, VW Golf!
