KDF Brochure
Click on any image to see it full size.

The KdF-Wagen reached its production "form" in 1938 with a 985ccm  engine. 
In the 1943 model year, the car received an 1131ccm engine  (something already in the military Kübelwagen from 1939  onward).
 
This reproduction brochure was sold by Automuseum Wolfsburg in  1998, upon the 60th anniversary of the 1938 model year.
