Matchbox has produced a wide variety of toys over the years and of course has also produced many VW models. VW Microbuses, Campers, Beetles, Bajas, Concepts, New Beetles, VW Transporters and fantasy VW pieces (e.g.: the Flying Beetle and Beetle Streaker) have had a place in their line-up early on. I am not sure of some of the dates on these, I was using The Encyclopedia of Matchbox Toys by Charlie Mack as a reference. Here are the ones I have in my collection so far.
