Fremont Motors purchased Casper Volkswagen in 2011. Volkswagen is the number-two automaker in the world behind GM, and its high-quality vehicles-like the 2012 Passat, which was named Motor Trend's Car of the Year-are known for their workmanship and performance. A new facility was built and outfitted with the latest technology, computers, and services. The building is decorated with photographs documenting Volkswagen's colorful history, which began in 1938 when it's designers set out to make a car for all people and ended up with the original Volkswagen Beetle. Seventy-four years later, the iconic Beetle is still on the road.
