Synopsis

Taken from the best of the articles that appeared in the UK's leading VW enthusiasts magazine, VolksWorld, this colorful book shows a huge range of Volkswagen air-cooled automobiles. The iconic Type 1 Beetle is shown in every form, from the rare Hebmuller convertible to highly modified Beetles modified for the track and drag strip. The ultimate in customized Beetles are found in California and Utah and this book includes examples of the very best, plus a bizarre wrought-iron "bird-cage" Beetle from Japan. Naturally the world's best examples of Type 2 Volkswagens (Bus, Van, Pick-up, and Kombi) are featured, from the beautifully restored standard examples of Buses and Kombis, via versions powered by Porsche engines, to the weird and wonderful creations wrought by the custom shops of the US. When these cars left the VW Wolfsburg production line in Germany, nobody ever imagined what flights of fantasy they would inspire. Also included in the book are cars such as the infamous Beach Buggy, the rare VW Trekker, and Karmann Ghias of every type from Pro Racing Association dragsters to customized cars with multi-hued paintwork. For anyone with a passing interest in the wide world of collectible Volkswagens, this book covers the diverse world of Beetles and Buses like no other.
