After the war and right up to the present day, many hundreds of companies, hobbyists and designers around the world have built countless special vehicles based on a Volkswagen chassis. Some were adventurous, others breathtakingly beautiful, including coupés, convertibles, pickups and buggies. After 1945, most cars were developed out of necessity, as the market had been bombed out of existence. Later, car manufacturers let their imaginations run wild. In addition to the official production in Wolfsburg, a separate branch of the industry developed around fitting new or good used chassis with custom bodies. Nordhoff refused to supply car manufacturers with chassis from the assembly line. He even prohibited VW dealers from supplying VW Beetles to coachbuilders. All these efforts could not prevent a diverse range of vehicles based on Volkswagen and Porsche technology from appearing almost everywhere in the world. While in the 1950s the focus was on reconstruction, in the 1960s and 1970s the vehicle was increasingly at the service of leisure activities. The world was becoming more colourful, and not just because of the hippie movement. Nearly 900 images of vehicles using key components from Volkswagen or Porsche testify to the ingenuity of professional and private car makers. Austrian historian Thomas Braun has spent more than ten years researching and compiling everything that has been designed and produced in special vehicles based on the Volkswagen chassis around the world. He has also unearthed modified rear-engined VW buses and numerous sports cars that looked like Porsche models or were powered by Porsche engines.

After the war and right up to the present day, many hundreds of companies, hobbyists and designers around the world have built countless special vehicles based on a Volkswagen chassis, initially on the platform of the Wehrmacht Kübelwagen. Some were adventurous, others breathtakingly beautiful, including coupés, convertibles, pickups and buggies. After 1945, most cars were developed out of necessity, as the market had been bombed out of existence. Later, car manufacturers let their imaginations run wild. Most of these vehicles were created in Germany, America and Brazil. Special models from Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, Italy, Austria, Switzerland and, more recently, Greece are well documented. Volkswagen technology was also popular in the GDR, Australia, Argentina, China and South Africa. Apal, Beck, Beutler, Colani, Custoca were among the most famous designers (including numerous buggy manufacturers) who used VW and often Porsche technology, Dannenhauer & Stauss, Denzel, Devin, Envemo, Enzmann, Glöckler, Gurgel, Hebmüller, Karmann, Kellison, Kohlruss, Ledl, Lorena, Magnum, Meyers, Miura, MP Lafer, Nova, Papler, Puma, Replicar Hellas, Rometsch, Wittera.

During 1988 Anita Bunn left South Africa for America to see how other people lived. It would be for 36 months, she told her mother. She returned 8 years later with her son and settled into a small cottage on a big farm in the middle of the Stellenbosch vineyards. With great gusto, she started a new chapter in her life, falling face first into gardening, animal husbandry, compost, art and raising a son solo with often hilarious results. Anita penned these tails in a local newspaper, writing passionately about self-sustainability, her relationship with her animals and soil which she lovingly tendered throughout her life. Recipes of traditional and not so traditional South African delicacies were thrown in with abandonment. Her articles overflowed with the smells and rhythms of her beloved South Africa. These articles became the backbone of her memoirs. Her son returned to his birthplace, America and the circle was completed. Ramblings of a life in Africa evokes the spirit of an independent woman determined to live life to its fullest extent, regardless. It is a candid tale of things that befall an ordinary life. Her tales are captured in her unique style with an easy narrative and colourful illustrations burst from the pages, each one a story on their own. · A down to the bone, honest rendition of life on a farm in South Africa. · A story of exploration into a myriad of diverse interests, including mushroom hunting, keeping animals for the table, gardening and cooking. · A joyous, colourful and expressive visual explosion of original art by the author, Anita Bunn

A poignant and ruthlessly honest journey through cultural expectations of size, race, and gender—and toward a brighter future—from National Book Award nominee Evette Dionne My body has not betrayed me; it has continued rebounding against all odds. It is a body that others map their expectations on, but it has never let me down. In this insightful, funny, and whip-smart book, acclaimed writer Evette Dionne explores the minefields fat Black woman are forced to navigate in the course of everyday life. From her early experiences of harassment to adolescent self-discovery in internet chatrooms to diagnosis with heart failure at age twenty-nine, Dionne tracks her relationships with friendship, sex, motherhood, agoraphobia, health, pop culture, and self-image. Along the way, she lifts back the curtain to reveal the subtle, insidious forms of surveillance and control levied at fat women: At the doctor’s office, where any health ailment is treated with a directive to lose weight. On dating sites, where larger bodies are rejected or fetishized. On TV, where fat characters are asexual comedic relief. But Dionne’s unflinching account of our deeply held prejudices is matched by her fierce belief in the power of self-love. An unmissable portrait of a woman on a journey toward understanding our society and herself, Weightless holds up a mirror to the world we live in and asks us to imagine the future we deserve.
