SOME SUBTLE CHANGES TO THE BEETLE IN THE 1950S: In 1953 the split rear glass windows was replaced by an oval window.
In 1955, the separate brake lights were discontinued and were combined into a new larger taillight housing.
For 1956, the Beetle received what would become one of its more distinctive features, a set of twin chrome tailpipes.
In 1957 the oval rear window was replaced by a rectangular window and the side windows were enlarged.
BBURAGO (1974-2005): The Bburago, Lombard company founded by Cavalier Mario Besana in Burago di Molgora Italy, begins its story in 1974 as "Martoys" becoming the following year "Bburago".
"Car Models to play there," was the slogan that appeared on the advertising of the early 80's and in fact this has been the policy of production where the model was not intended to be displayed in the window, but to be "played."
The Italian Bburago ceased production in 2005, and the brand was bought by
China May Cheong Group (owner of Maistro) acquired the rights to the Bburago brand and continues production of Buragos older models in China.
