What Is a Vw Thing?

History of the VW Thing
The concept for the 181 came from the Kübelwagen, a German military vehicle used during World War II. The civilian version of the Type 181 was known as the VW Kurierwagen in home country, Germany. ... In England, they called it the VW Trekker.

When did Volkswagen stop making the thing?

Things were made from 1968 thru 1979. The last official year model was 1980. They were imported into the United States from 1973-1974. Things have Thing-only ball joints.

Do they still make Volkswagen things?

After three generations spanning a total of seven decades, it's certainly sad news to announce that the 2019 model year will be the last for the iconic Volkswagen Beetle.
