It was the most popular imported car in \nAmerica in the 1960s, and before that it enjoyed a humble beginning as \n\"the people's car\" in its native Germany. The Complete Book of Classic \nVolkswagens encompasses the evolution of the popular Beetle as well as \nother variations of Volkswagen's air-cooled cars, vans, and trucks. \nThoroughly illustrated, this is an invaluable reference to Volkswagen's \ncollectible and iconic cars.\n\nThe history of VW automobiles is just as colorful as the hues they were \nmanufactured in, and this book illustrates the full story. German \nautomakers originally sought to supply their countrymen with an \nautomobile that was easy to mass produce. By 1938, they finalized the \ndesign for the VW \"Bug\"--the first rear-engined, rear-wheel-drive \nconfigured car. In its heyday, the little rounded Beetle was produced at \na rate of more than one million per year. Today, with more than 23 \nmillion cars built, the Beetle holds the record as the most-produced \npassenger car of all time. But the Beetle is only one part of the \nair-cooled Volkswagen story. The rest--from Type 2 vans, pick-ups, and \ncampers to the Type 113 \"Super Beetle\"--is included here. If you're the \nowner of a Volkswagen or if you just love their iconic look and you're \ninterested in their evolution, this book deserves a place on your \nbookshelf.","brand":"Motorbooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32448369721415,"sku":"B05243","price":40.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/9813\/3831\/files\/b05243.jpg?v=1772254760"},{"product_id":"new-vw-beetle-enthusiast-color-used-1","title":"New Vw Beetle (Enthusiast Color) USED USED","description":"In the Enthusiast Color Series a look at the development of the new Beetle from the drawing board to the concept car.

The initial Panel Van gave rise to a flexible Pick-up, revolutionary Kombi, adventurous camper and and an endless catalogue of inspired conversions and variations. There were ambulances, mobile shops, school buses, fire tenders, high-roofed vans, double-cab pick-ups, police vans, mobile milking machines, and so many more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As Volkswagen survived Second World War turmoil and thrived under the firm focus of director general Heinz Nordhoff, this book charts the progress of the innovative Transporter as its initial weaknesses were improved and eventually perfected to exploit the Beetle-based rear-engined layout.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Much like the Beetle, the Transporter gained a cult following around the globe, with its attributes as a commercial vehicle equalled by its status as a hippie bus and stalwart of the surfing community.
