Like a trip down memory lane, the stunning photographs in "Volkswagen Beetle: Portrait of a Legend" celebrate the social impact of the Beetle.

The original design was inspired by the flatbed vehicles used in the Wolfsburg factory. After initial problems with the cars were solved production of the Kombi and Panel Van began in 1950. Official variations began in the early 1950's and the Type 2 came in almost any shape a buyer wanted. To keep up with demand a new factory was opened in Hanover in 1956 and the millionth type 2 was produced in 1962. By the end of production in 1967 nearly 2 million had been built. This is a book of contemporary road and comparison tests, technical and specification data, touring, variations.

This manual covers all U.S. and Canadian gasoline and diesel engine models of Volkswagen New Beetle from 1998 to 2000.
From the ruins of the Third Reich in Germany emerged one of the most instantly recognizable vehicles of the second half of the 20th century: the Volkswagen Transporter. With origins often attributed to a sketch produced by the flamboyant Dutchman Ben Pon, the reality is that the Transporter was the result of plans developed for Heinz Nordhoff, the highly talented if individualistic Director General of Volkswagen from 1948 until 1968.
Launched in 1949, the Transporter was designed to provide the company with a second model to run alongside the equally recognizable Beetle as a means of generating income. It was "designed for town and country, short and long distances, autobahns and field tracks, goods and passengers, retail and industry" and as such was to prove readily adaptable to a whole range of forms, including the camper van.
Manufactured for almost 20 years in Germany and until 1975 in Brazil, the first generation Transporter achieved peak production in its homeland in 1964 when more than 187,000 were built. In all, almost two million were built in Germany and a further 450,000 at Volkswagen factories elsewhere - a staggering total for what started out as a purely utilitarian vehicle.
Richard Copping, an acknowledged expert on the history of Volkswagen and the Transporter in particular, explores the history of the first generation model from its post-war origins through to the end of an era when production ceased in the mid-1970s.
