VW 181 - rapeseed yellow

First the Bundeswehr, then as a "bucket" just for fun

It was only just 50 years old - the VW 181, which at that time rolled over Bundeswehr barracks as a supplement. In the USA, the VW Type 181 also became a legend, a recreational vehicle “just for fun”. His name in the States: The Thing! The would-be off-road vehicle had neither all-wheel drive nor off-road gears, let alone ground clearance. When the VW 181 was presented at the IAA in 1969, its automotive calling was purely military in nature. The European countries actually wanted to build a Jeep counterpart together in the 1960s, but the project got stuck in its infancy. In the meantime, the Bundeswehr came under pressure because production of the DKW Munga had ended in 1968. VW acted and put the Type 181 on a platform frame, the VW Beetle contributed the boxer engine. Initially presented as a “courier car”, the 181 was quickly renamed the “Kübelwagen” in military parlance - based on the Wehrmacht vehicle, a name officially not desired by the Bundeswehr. From 1969 to 1980, 140,768 vehicles rolled off the assembly line. Initially in Wolfsburg, then in Hanover and Emden, and finally only at the Mexico location, the VW 181 was used as a utility vehicle in a variety of applications.
