When I started this book project everyone asked me why bother writing another Volkswagen book? Hasn’t everything already been written & published about the Volkswagen? Just about and I would know having over 130 Volkswagen books in my personal library. But I found the main problem was the history chapters never included all the different Types of Volkswagens together. It was always a separate history chapter or book for each.
So for the first time as a service to all VW Enthusiasts and Volkswagen owners, I have compiled every fact from each model VW and included them in perfect chronological order as they happened in conjunction with all the facts of Volkswagen’s story. Finally one complete collectable book that includes every type of Volkswagen. Take half your books and sell them on The Samba. 5 years of work have paid off as my book has been endorsed by Bruce Simurda the Editor of Hot VW Magazine. Rich Kimball noted West Coast VW Historian and writer for Hot VW magazine’s Collectors Corner. My book has also been enjoyed by such stars as Porsche & VW collector Jerry Seinfeld who bought 5 copies, car collector Jay Leno, Dean Jones driver of The Love Bug, Dennis Cage from My Classic Car, and many many others.
I always loved those old VW Advertisements so I did some research and included the story of how they came about, along with listing over 600 ads in order by year and model. It’s fun to read each one and reference them as you start your collection. I also included all the great VW Billboard ads, world renowned TV commercials, and a major updated list of Movies that include Volkswagens in them. You’ll want to rent each of these movies.
For 30 years I had been collecting VW news clips covering all the crazy things that have been done with VWs. So I compiled them to create the Fun Facts Hobby Chapter. It will bring back a lot of memories. Do you have a Personalized License Plate on your car? Well as you know this is a great addition to your car and I have gathered almost 600 names used on VW plates and you will love looking at all the unique ideas VW Enthusiasts from across the country have come up with while looking to see if I have your plate in my listing.
I couldn’t leave out the most famous VW of all time, the VW that gave all Volkswagens their own distinct personality, that’s right Herbie The Love Bug has his own chapter with photos, star interviews and over 100 great facts you should know from all the Herbie movies.
Heinz Nordhoff said about the VW. "They stay the same, yet keep changing". My year to year chapter of the Bus & Beetle are perfect for this statement. With the help of J.T. Garwood you will spend hours going from the first to the last Bus & Beetle reading how they changed. Whether you are just a VW Hobbiest or a VW Restorer you will get many hours of enjoyment from this, as well as reference manual to restore your Beetle or Bus correctly.
I could go on for pages telling you everything that is in this book but let me end with my friend George Trosley the talented artist that donated almost a dozen of his full page VW CARtoons to my book that are all suitable for framing. Check out his website on my Links.
