VW Beetle retired at 80/81 and fittingly 88 unofficially (1931-2019) 8 days after the solar eclipse:
Arguably the earliest known date for the beetle is 1931
From 1931 Ferdinand Porsche and Zündapp developed the type 12 prototype Auto für Jedermann ("car for everyone"), which was the first time the name Volkswagen was used. Porsche preferred the 4-cylinder flat engine, but Zündapp used a water-cooled 5-cylinder radial engine. In 1932 three prototypes were running. All three cars were lost during the war, the last in a 1945 Stuttgart bombing raid.
