Of 79 VW Bugs and 79 Bug Parts

79 Volkswagen BeetleNo one outgrows a Bug. Well, at least not the Volkswagen Bug. In every part of the world, no such other vehicle catering to the needs of the individual earning the average income rate has ever garnered such a degree of recognition and enthusiasm from the public. Drivers and non drivers alike know what a bug is. Hybrids of the platform are recognized widely since every single living person knows what a bug looks like. And if they don’t, some other individual will be more than willing to tell them about it.

The extensive consumer awareness and consciousness of the Volkswagen Bug was the result of one of the most remarkable advertising marketing schemes to ever come across in the industry. Resorting to a tone that was casual, and hip, the bug achieved phenomenal success, not just as the car for people who lived their lives trying to earn decent paycheck in their office jobs but as a cultural icon, especially in American markets. For the best part of the 50’s, the Bug reached undisputed dominion over a number of its competitions that came along in the market, with the most notable among them being Asian automotive companies Toyota and Honda that, although were relatively new players in the field, were just about ready to take over a huge portion of the car consumer base in a number of markets, including that of America.

But by the arrival of the 1970s, the streak seemed to be thinning out. With the continued appearance of a new generation of customers, new consumer tastes in car design began to emerge and the well known bug from Volkswagen began to grow all too familiar—in short, too common. The new generation demanded a new look to go with the new decade. Thus came the Volkswagen Golf. Another Volkswagen bug, manufactured between the years 1974 up until the end of the year 1983, the Golf proved successful, securing a hold on consumers and Volkswagen enthusiasts. The Golf model, with its production, counting several years of Bug parts assembly, including that of 79 Bug parts, continued to provide Volkswagen with premium consumer items. In fact, public reaction to the Golf bug was overwhelmingly positive that a number of variants appeared, models that exhibited their distinctive Golf heritage.

And though a number of models, notably the Volkswagen Eos and several more have taken Volkswagen down another path, its series of Bugs and their corresponding bug parts, have made Volkswagen a force to be reckoned with in the automotive industry. Today, you can still see people driving around in their bugs, whether manufactured back it’s a 74 Bug or a 79 Bug. No other automotive item can boast of such endurance. The Bug has outlasted nearly all its contemporaries. This all seems ironic, since there were others who took one look at the car’s design and predicted that it would amount to nothing.

So whether you own a 79 Bug, outfitted with 79 Bug parts, they may seem outmoded to some people but of course, you know better. No one outgrows a Bug.
