The year was 1938, the newly formed town of Stadt des KdF-Wagens was starting to produce automobiles and the KdF Wagen, or Volkswagen as we know it today, was being toured around Germany and displayed at various events to encourage German citizens to participate in the new saving programme, taking the first steps on the journey towards purchasing one of the exciting new cars for themselves.
Because of the popularity of the idea of the people’s car, German toy manufacturers started introducing their own KdF Wagens in miniature form.
