The 1968 Volkswagen Beetle 1200 (Type 1) is a rear-engine economy car from Volkswagen.

It was originally designed in 1931 by Ferdinand Porsche and Zündapp as "the people's car", and nicknamed "Bug" or "Käfer" in German.

Powered by an air-cooled flat-4 engine with a displacement of 1192cc, the 1968 revision for the Beetle included new chrome bumper designs, as well as larger rear window.
