The unique VW Bus is one of the only commercial vehicles to achieve iconic status. The original idea of a Dutchman, Ben Pon, the classic box on wheels began in 1950 as a crude, but practical utility vehicle. With its rugged construction, reliable mechanical package and cheeky good looks, the classic first generation of split-screen transporters had colonized the globe by the mid-1960s. It became a firm favorite among tradespeople and family motorists, and it continues to attract a worldwide following of devotees. This pictorial history of the VW Bus uses over 200 photographs to show in detail the evolution of its simple but enduring design. It recalls the more sophisticated second generation Bays which appeared in 1967, the growth of the enthusiastic Bus cult that is still so strong today, the third generation Buses, launched in 1979, and the current breed of powerful, front-wheel drive Transporters.

5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best books on VW bus.,
By
This review is from: VW Bus (Sutton's Photographic History of Transport) (Paperback)
This is an interesting book on the VW bus and its a detailed history.Despite this series of books only having black & white photos this book is still a gem.Plenty of photos throughout show the VW bus from its orginal sketch drawn in 1947 to the models up to 1982 this book is an ideal history of these vehicles.
The book is very high quality and printed on glossy paper.The photos do the book justice.This book will please most owners and enthusiasts.If you can find a copy hold on to it.The book is a classic.Even though the photos are b&w I still give the book 5 stars.
