Vintage Volkswagens

By Flat 4 Project

Book Overview

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.

Customer Reviews

Beautiful Book for the Vintage Air-Cooled VW Admirer!

If you are 'into' classic VWs- Beetles, Karmann Ghias, and even Hebmullers, you will absolutely love this collection of photographs detailing beautifully-restored or original air-cooled examples. The book features a description in the back of each vehicle, including paint color, interior, owner at the time of photographing, etc. I've been over it time and time again, and it never gets old, just admiring these vintage beauties! I'm a VW fan, and although my 'baby' is a '74 Super Convertible Beetle, I also love the older ones, and it's gratifying to see so many 'pure' examples. Highly recommended!

VINTAGE VOLKSWAGONS

BOOK WAS JUST AS DESCRIBED! WOULD BUY FROM AGAIN! VERY FAST SHIPPING ALSO!

NICE PIC'S

The book has a very nice collection of VW pictures. Photos whith good quality of very good cars. If you like Beetles you will appreciate this book. I think the format of the book is to small so then many pictures are little or printed using two pages (considering the price is still a good book).

A Great Picture Book with info. too!!

To be honest, I don't even own this book, but my friend does, and we've looked at it many times together. It has plenty of information about Volkswagens, while displaying really fabulous photos of great volkswagen models! If you like Volkswagens, you'll love this book!!
