This coffee-table companion describes the incredibly popular `Sixties design of VW classics, exploring their enduring appeal, the original air-cooled cars and the Transporter models in fascinating detail. It's an absolute must-read for Volkswagen enthusiasts.- Classic Car Buyer. VW owners are hardly wanting for relevant books, but Volkswagen: The Air-Cooled Era in Colour focuses on the marketing and production of postwar to 1970 VWs in a light, easily accessed way with very little tedious data. Pretty 1940s and 50s stylised artwork gives way to the brutal honesty of the 1960s, and there is a pleasing amount of Type 3 and Razor Edge coverage included. Great for the newcomer to the work of Beetles and buses.- Classic Car Weekly. Veloce Publishing has newly reprinted this 176-page softcover, which has been one of its most popular classic-VW books for good reason. Copping begins with a history lesson that acknowledges the Volkswagen's Nazi roots, and continues the lessons through six chapters that are generously illustrated with 255 mostly colour images. Readers follow along as the beautiful drawings of the early 1950s gave way to photographs in the early 1960s, and the vehicles likewise evolved to appeal to changing tastes and regulations. This book even includes such rare vehicles as the Type 3-based 1500 "razor" Karmann Ghia and stillborn 1500 Convertible. In addition to its visual appeal, this book is filled with interesting VW trivia; it's an excellent piece for any imported-car fan's bookshelf. - Hemmings Motor News.
