The risk was real, when VW replaced the Beetle in 1974: the best-selling car in history, with its gently rounded silhouette and its rear engine, gave way to a front-wheel drive compact family car, with angular lines designed by the Italian designer Giugiaro. No need to say that the risk paid off! On this Solido in 1:18 scale that figures the first-gen Golf, the front doors can open.
