It would be a mistake to think that only Volkswagen's Beetle has captured the imagination of the motoring public. The Transporter -- or VW Bus -- was designed to incorporate many of the Beetle's tried-and-true features in a capable and roomy commercial vehicle. What was a purely utilitarian transport in the 1950s and '60s has become an icon of the '90s, as owners rebuild tired Transporters for a new generation. Author Meredith charts the full history of the transporter from 1949 to the present.
No automobile is more recognizable than the Volkswagen Beetle. Introduced as an affordable motor vehicle for postwar Germany, the little Beetle grew to iconic status in both the automotive world and the world of pop culture. This year-by-year, full-color tribute to the "People's Car" begins with the first models in 1945 and goes on to cover the Beetle's 33-year production run in Germany, it's continued manufacture in Mexico starting in 1978, and the introduction in Spring 1998 of the New Beetle -- a car that reasserted the model's popularity, posted remarkable sales and, like its forebear, transcended the automotive world to become a pop culture sensation.
