The idea of building a car for the people was not new, but the success of such models had always been limited. At least until 1946, when the Volkswagen factory began building the first Beetles for public consumption. From then on the car just ran and ran. Volkswagen Model Documentation begins by telling the history of Volkswagen after the war, how the British under Major Ivan Hirst rescued Porsche's concept from the rubble, and how Heinrich Nordhoff then steered the company to worldwide success. Joachim Kuch then examines in detail the genesis and history of each Volkswagen model, beginning with the Beetle and Cabriolet (Types 1 and 151), through the Karmann-Ghia (Type 14), Thing (Type 181) Transporter (Type 2, including air-and watercooled, Campmobile and Westfalia), Type 3 (Notchback, Squareback, Fastback, Ghia), Type 4 (411, 412), and 914 (4-and 6-cylinder). Also included are separate sections detailing the important dates, changes, and milestones in each model's production run. Packed with photographs, quotes from press and test articles of the time, and information from internal Volkswagen documents, Volkswagen Model Documentation tells the comprehensive story of all the Volkswagen boxer-engine models.

The Volkswagen Beetle is the most successful car in the history of the automobile and over twenty million examples have been built. Conceived by Adolf Hitler in the spirit of the Model T Ford and designed by Ferdinand Porsche in the 1930s, the Beetle did not enter series production until 1945, after the ending of the Second World War. Its familiar but unconventional lines have since become recognisable throughout the world and, incredibly, it is still being built at VW's Mexican factory. This edition brings the story up to date and charts the arrival and evolution of the New Beetle, visually inspired by the original, which appeared in 1998. About the author Jonathan Wood is a founder member of the staff of Classic Cars, the magazine which gave its name to the movement. He is the author of some 35 books, which include an acclaimed history of the Volkswagen Beetle. Other titles for Shire by this author are: The Bean Austin Seven The Citroen The Bullnose Morris Classic Cars The Model T Ford The Rolls-Royce

At the Berlin Auto Show in 1938, Adolf Hitler presented the prototype for a small, oddly shaped, inexpensive family car that all good Aryans could enjoy. Decades later, that automobile—the Volkswagen Beetle—was one of the most beloved in the world. Bernhard Rieger examines culture and technology, politics and economics, and industrial design and advertising genius to reveal how a car commissioned by Hitler and designed by Ferdinand Porsche became an exceptional global commodity on a par with Coca-Cola. Beyond its quality and low cost, the Beetle’s success hinged on its uncanny ability to capture the imaginations of people across nations and cultures. In West Germany, it came to stand for the postwar “economic miracle” and helped propel Europe into the age of mass motorization. In the United States, it was embraced in the suburbs, and then prized by the hippie counterculture as an antidote to suburban conformity. As its popularity waned in the First World, the Beetle crawled across Mexico and Latin America, where it symbolized a sturdy toughness necessary to thrive amid economic instability. Drawing from a wealth of sources in multiple languages, The People’s Car presents an international cast of characters—executives and engineers, journalists and advertisers, assembly line workers and car collectors, and everyday drivers—who made the Beetle into a global icon. The Beetle’s improbable story as a failed prestige project of the Third Reich which became a world-renowned brand illuminates the multiple origins, creative adaptations, and persisting inequalities that characterized twentieth-century globalization.

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.

Austrian historian Thomas Braun has spent years researching and compiling everything that has been designed and produced in special vehicles based on the VW Beetle 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.
