They made the Beetle from 1938 to 2003. Pretty sure other people were making similar vehicles during that time span. They only stopped making it because it could no longer meet environmental exhaust requirements in most countries (air cooled).
The beetle was made until 2003.
The new beetle, a different car, started production in 1997. It was manufactured side by side with the original beetle.

Not who originally commented but you said the original air cooled beatle and then proceeded to to say 1938-2003 which is it. The OG or all of them?

It was well past its prime by the 1970s. VW would’ve ended production long before 2003 if it wasn’t seen as an iconic vehicle.
