Before the Volkswagen Beetle was known by its insect-inspired name, it had a more plain moniker. When it was first introduced to America in 1949, what was the Beetle called?

When it was introduced to the U.S., people weren't impressed, and only 2 units sold the first year. By the 1960s it was widely popular and was affectionately known as the Beetle, or Kafer in German.
