Volkswagen Beetle
Few cars have achieved the iconic status of Volkswagen`s classic and much-loved Beetle – yet its origins were intertwined with the dark days of Nazism. This books looks those origins, at the marque`s initial post-war rescue by the British and the effect of early VW Director General Heinz Nordhoff`s forward-looking desire to perfect one model rather than spread the company`s talent over a range of designs, at the impact of radical-minded advertising campaigns and at the Beetle`s never-to-be-beaten production record for a single model of nearly 22 million cars. Bringing the reader right up to the present day, marque expert Richard Copping recounts the Beetle`s story in a lively and authoritative manner guaranteed to delight devotee and casual browser alike.
