A History and Celebration of an Unlikely Icon.
Engagingly and authoritatively written, deliciously designed and featuring more than 300 gorgeous color and black & white photos, this is the long-awaited record of the Volkswagen Beetle, from its earliest beginnings to its latest rebirth.
Along the way you’ll find examples of the priceless ad campaigns, a chronicle of the growing subculture of Beetle restorers and modifiers, and a complete timeline of the creation of the new Beetle. Like the car itself, this book is not only the history and celebration of an automobile, it’s also a vital record of our society’s changing image of itself.
