Book Description

Series: Colour Family Album | Publication Date: October 1997

The idea for the VW "Type 2" Commercial came from Ben Pon, a VW importer from the Netherlands, who was inspired by the crude but effective vehicles used to move goods around the Wolfsburg factory site. Introduced in 1949, the first Type 2s had the now sought-after split screens, and were produced as buses, campers, vans and pick-ups for almost 20 years. The VW bus has been used for many jobs: fire engine, ambulance, mobile home, cement mixer and school bus among others.

2.0 out of 5 stars Busfanatic, December 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Volkswagen Bus: Camper, Van & Pick-Up (Colour Family Album) (Hardcover)

Nice photos, text doesn't go very deep into VW history or technical stuff. It's a good intro in the world of VW transporters (splitscreens/ baywindows/wedges). But if you want the real stuff: buy the book Original VW Bus by Laurence Meredith
