Daniel Sangeado acquired its first Vocho in 1993 and the second in 2001. Although the official name of this car is Volkswagen sedan, this car model has multiple names in Mexico is popular Vocho in United States Beetle and Spain, Beetle , while in Brazil it was known as Fusca.
"I've had very good stories with him," says Sangeado to Verne . "Its functionality, the possibility of keeping it and keeping it in good condition is what I like the most," says the owner of this sedan for almost two decades. Mexicans who lived in the 1990s may remember that ecological taxis were painted green, and the others yellow. It was the model of car that could be seen in cities like Guadalajara or Monterrey, but also on cobblestone roads in other States of Mexico.
The sedan, built by the German automaker Volkswagen, has been a success since its manufacture in 1934, where the challenge was to build an economical but safe vehicle for the German people, "according to its communication office. In Mexico, this vehicle sold 1 , 6 million units between 1954 and 2003, when the company decided to stop producing this vehicle.
On June 22, World Vocho Day is celebrated , a celebration that emerged in 1995, from meetings organized by beetle fans, which in other Latin American countries was named Pichirilo or Pulga , for its rounded appearance similar to that of an insect.
In Mexico, the vochos are classified as vintage cars. Some show the passing of time and others are authentic collectibles that can be sold for several thousand pesos. But in the country these vehicles keep, more than an economic value, a personal estimate for the stories that have been lived traveling roads in them.
