Volkswagen Concept One concept car, the precursor to the New Beetle
While VW Germany was reluctant to resurrect the Beetle, the Americans were all for it and designed the concept one as a show car for the 1994 Detroit Motorshow. If you thing it was pretty much like the final New Beetle you would be wrong. The concept 1 had all the curved of the final production car but was based on the Polo platform and was therefore a much smaller car.

Response was so overwhelming that production was assured, and the decision was made to base the production model on the Golf platform, the New Beetle was a concept that well and truly made it.

I actually have the original "Volkswagen Concept 1" press release kit which was provided to very few during the press release at the 1994 North American Auto Show. It includes a canvas bag, brochure, slides, photographs, four media information reports, and technical data sheet. All of this is included in a cleverly designed sliding cardboard cutout containing everything. Is there any value to this, I have looked everywhere for something similar to this?
