The Volkswagen Bus in not just a vehicle - it's a movement. This lighthearted look at the Transporter's long and colorful life includes 50 years of history and an abundance of full color photographs. Trace this legendary and easily recognizable vehicle's life from its birth in Germany to its introduction in the US. Growing in popularity in the 1960s, the counterculture movement identified with it and it evolved into a practical family vehicle. With little power and almost no heat, the VW bus still has a faithful following.
Unlike many other titles, it does include all generations of bus, including VW Concept Microbus. You'll even find a chapter on Community with profiles of differing types of bus owner: The Purist, The Authority, The Cheap Fixer, The Radical Changer, The Perfectionist, The Clueless. The Photography is excellent throughout showcasing not just original condition buses but rusty rats and lurid paint schemes and people using buses just to enjoy them. A recommended read. --Volkswagen Camper and Commercial magazine
