In 1948, the British occupying forces offered to give the Volkswagen company, free of charge, to Ford Motor Company. Henry Ford II was advised by Ernest Breech, Ford's board chairman, that "Mr. Ford, I don't think what we're being offered here is worth a dime!" and the deal never went through. What if Ford decides to go through with it? Would the Beetle still be the massive success as it was IOTL? Would this small car help Ford stave off the onslaught of compact Japanese imports? I imagine that Ford would've been much better off if they had been selling the Rabbit rather than the Pinto.
