This review is from: VW Beetle - a Collector's Guide (Collectors Guides) (Hardcover)
A Pictorial History of the Famous Volkswagen Beetle, from the very early days right thru until 1992.. Once You pick this book up ,You won't be able to put it down.. its that good... You will find yourself reading this book over again and again..
What was on a 1951 beetle only for that year? You will find the answer and photo in this book. It also covers the Hebmuller , Karmann Ghia and Karmann Cabriolets versions too. Have You heard of the 411-412, 914/4-914/6, the K70 and the 1302S & 1303S Beetles? You can read about them in this great little Book... I rate it 5 out of 5... Lee Noonan
