Volkswagen
Beetle 'Geneva Show car' (1952)
During the 1952 Motor Show in Geneva, Karl Meier presented the first spoiler
on a Volkswagen Beetle (top). This was the initial step towards success. Karl
Meier became 'KaMei', a name which stands for innovative auto extras.
Other accessories soon followed, such as a glove compartment under the dashboard,
the removable interior boot lid (trunk cover), head and arm rests, foot rests
and the first "soft" safety flower vase!
This car started the evolution of Kamei into what it is today. It was also the
inspiration behind the Beetster show cars.
