Few would argue that no other car has captured the imagination of the world quite like the Volkswagen Beetle. Originally conceived as "the People's Car," the Beetle's rise to fame coincided with that of the Third Reich. Despite this infamous connection, the Beetle survived through the years in many variations, although it remained true to its original and distinctive form. Author Ryan Lee Price, editor of VW Trends magazine, takes a detailed look at the development of the Beetle during its early days. Included are detailed production numbers listing year by year model changes in areas of engine, driveline and chassis, making this an indispensable reference tool for the avid VW enthusiast.
