5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent book on the history of the original Beetle.,
By
This review is from: Volkswagen: Then, Now and Forever (Hardcover)
Terry Shuler's "Volkswagen Then, Now and Forever" is a comprehensive look at the original Beetle. In addition to its history, there are chapters devoted to and written by key people from those involved in testing the original prototypes to advertising. Of course, detailed information is provided about Porsche, Hitler and their vision and developement of the "people's car." Chapters on the car itself are broken down by year. Many pictures including those of sales literature, manuals and variations of the cars. Also includes history of the Bus, Karmann Ghia and others. If you're only going to buy one book on Volkswagen's history, this should be it.

This book is very informative and entertaining.,

This review is from: Volkswagen: Then, Now and Forever (Hardcover)
Shuler is a great author who includes great stories and a ton of really early VW history pictures and even lots of color photos. This book is a must for anyone who owns any year of VW or who is just interested in the marque. I have read many VW books and this by far exeeds them all. One can see what vast amounts of in depth research Shuler must have undertaken in order to produce a book of such high quality and originallity. I definetly recomend this book.
