- The Volkswagen Concept 1 is based upon a concept design of what would become the Volkswagen New Beetle.
- In 1997 and early 1998 there was an error at the factory where the VW logo on the front and rear were placed upside down on the 1-75 releases having 3 different possible incorrect combos plus 1 correct [4 total] . This issue was corrected later in 1998.
