A few words about the antique cars
Volkswagen Beetle
The first model of the well-known automotive industry was designed by Nazi Germany as the car for the mass. During World War II it was converted into a war vehicle. After the war ended, the winning side ignored the beetle, finding it ugly. In the end, it did not only find its way, but it also dominated the world with several million sales.
Mini Cooper
Famous as the Mr. Bean’s car Production began in 1959. The target was to create an affordable vehicle for four passengers. Mini Cooper soon became a fashionable possession for many lucky drivers. With the appropriate mechanical improvements, it also participated and won in rally races, giving another reason to those who wanted to buy it.

Being extremely small and economical, it just covered the needs of those who wanted to travel around. It wasn’t very competitive, performance wise but its curved design, apart from the beautiful aesthetic result, it also resulted in a leading, for the standards of the time, aerodynamic factor.
