Volkswagen Bus

Enthusiast Color

by William Burt

The Volkswagen Bus in not just a vehicle - it's a movement. This lighthearted look at the Transporter's long and colorful life includes 50 years of history and an abundance of full color photographs. Trace this legendary and easily recognizable vehicle's life from its birth in Germany to its introduction in the US. Growing in popularity in the 1960s, the counterculture movement identified with it and it evolved into a practical family vehicle. With little power and almost no heat, the VW bus still has a faithful following.

Fun, novelty book. I bought a VW Eurovan summer 2007 and this was a gift from my wife. It's a fun book, i wouldn't call it a "read" but fun to have and lots of info on the heritage of the VW bus upto and including the Eurovan (last VW van imported into the US-ending 2003) also covers the VW Microbus concept which won't see production.
