In the early days of Moonbase a blog legend was the Century 21 Toys Lunar Climber. This was inspired by the Midori kit version from Japan.
I've just found a great family tree for the Midori Apollo Moon Explorer and other 'Beetles', including the Paramount one, on the ace Scalemates site.
Have a gander.
Have you got any of the kits shown?

Ah, the Paramount Astro-Car! One of my first Japan SF crushes! Took me years to realize the Super-Beetle and the Beetle II Solar Ship were cousins! Those were glorious days. SFZ
