Vintage Volkswagens
Beetles are back! Now it's time to take a second look at the huggable new bug's older sibling. Vintage Volkswagens is a pictorial tribute to the unique design and timeless form of the classic VWs: Beetles, Karmann Ghias, Microbuses, Hebmullers, Cabriolets, they're all here. Every last quirky detail is lovingly documented, from the knobby little turn signals to the autoblumenvase, the original flower vase on the dashboard. Complete with authentic 1950s sales brochures, ads, and a special appendix of captions detailing everything from model numbers to body color, and now reissued with a new cover, this is the perfect book for the Volkswagen aficionado and everyone else who appreciates the evolution of a classic.
Thirty Years of the Volkswagen Golf & Rabbit
In the early 1970s, Volkswagen was in deep trouble. Its venerable rear-engine air-cooled Beetle could no longer meet upcoming government regulations and its once phenomenal sales numbers had begun to slide. Something new was needed and the Giugiaro-designed Volkswagen Golf rose above all of the other concepts and designs. The Golf (called the Rabbit in the U.S.) was a modern car so different from the ancient Beetle, and in fact so different from anything else on the market that in Europe it's not called the "compact" class or "hatchback" class; it's called the "GOLF" class. This book covers the fascinating transition from Beetle to Golf and the subsequent development of the car that became Volkswagen's new icon. Included are Volkswagen archival photographs of early development projects and details about the people who built these charismatic cars. The story is more than facts and figures. It is an adventurous tale of a company whose future rested on the fenders of a hatchback economy car - a car that ultimately became a favorite of car enthusiasts around the world.
