One of many old Beetles in Cagayan De Oro- easily the most common vintage car in the Philippines
15/10/2014 @ 16:42:54: cincarz: Philippines Trip-Sightings
Old Willys, now used as a "for-hire" vehicle. Cagayan De
oro.

Another Beetle, this one parked at a mall in Cagayan De Oro

These are common in the Philippines but rare in my part of the states. Plus, its still in great shape.

The Lancer-an icon in the Philippines. Fairly common there,rare everywhere else in the world.

Thanks for sharing the typical Phillipines traffic, cincarz
We are still figuring out some of those Volkswagen [Typ 1] vehicles as you have shown here where they were made. Some of them are hybrid from Mexico/Brazil, but we don't have some proof
16/10/2014 @ 19:02:51: ingo: Philippines Trip-Sightings
I'd say, they are all Brazilian due the small windows and the oversized taillights and indicators.
16/10/2014 @ 22:28:12: cincarz: Philippines Trip-Sightings
It is my understanding that both Brazilian and German Beetles can be found there. I saw about a dozen of them, and the yellow one inthe picture was the only one with larger taillights.
Per Wikipedia, some Beetles were assembles in Manila as well.
Beetle sales in the Philippines stopped roughly around the same time that they did in the US. They do not have 1980s-90s Brazilian Bugs, but some of the 1960s-70s models were imported from there at some point.
