Book excerpt: Aufbauend auf der technischen Basis des unverwüstlichen VW Käfer kam 1955 der erste Karmann-Ghia auf den Markt - und fuhr sich mit seiner attraktiven, sportlich-eleganten Karosserie direkt in die Herzen des Publikums. Ob als Coupé oder Cabriolet, er blieb fast 20 Jahre fester Bestandteil der Modellpalette und musste zum Leidwesen vieler Liebhaber dieses Autos schliesslich abtreten, als die Wolfsburger den revolutionären Wandel zum Golf vollzogen. Dieses neue Buch widmet sich detailliert der ungewöhnlichen Karmann-Ghia Story und geht sowohl auf den klassischen Typ 14 wie auch den von 1961-69 produzierten Typ 34 ein, der auf den Technikkomponenten des größeren VW 1500 fusste und niemals serienmässig als Cabriolet erhältlich war. Heute werden alle Karmann-Ghia Modelle als Liebhaberfahrzeuge hoch geschätzt und in restauriertem Zustand zu stattlichen Preisen gehandelt. Das Buch ist umfangreich mit historischem und aktuellem Bildmaterial versehen und wird abgerundet durch eine Kaufberatung sowie einen ausführlichen Datenteil.

Download or read book Volkswagen Beetles and Buses written by Russell Hayes and published by Motorbooks. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This illustrated history celebrates the 75th and 70th anniversaries of Volkswagen's two most iconic vehicles, from the first Beetles spearheaded by Ferdinand Porsche in the 1940s to the buses that became synonymous with a generation. Volkswagen is one of the most beloved brands in motoring history, thanks largely to two instantly recognizable vehicles: the Beetle (a.k.a. Bug) and the Bus. More than 23 million VW Beetles have buzzed into the world since 1945, while the VW Bus presaged the minivan by thirty-plus years. Volkswagen: Beetles and Buses examines and celebrates all aspects of the vehicles and the many cultural associations that have swirled around them for more than seven decades. The diminutive rear-engined and easily mass-produced Beetle became the most popular imported car in America during the 1960s. Its success was due to its familiar face, its wildly clever ad campaigns, and the sheer numbers produced. The equally compact yet spacious Bus (a.k.a. Kombi, Microbus, Type 2, Transporter, and simply “van”) has won millions of fans around the world with its practicality, simplicity, and design. In this beautifully illustrated and authoritatively written celebration, author Russell Hayes looks back at the vehicles while focusing on the classic air-cooled VWs that ran into the late 1970s. Along the way, readers witness the Beetle and Bus at work and at play and learn about vehicle development and growing roles in popular culture, including star appearances in films like The Love Bug, Little Miss Sunshine, Footloose, Fight Club, The Big Lebowski, and Fast Times at Ridgemont High, as well as television shows like Lost and Once Upon a Time and on the covers of the Beatles’ Abbey Road and Bob Dylan’s Freewheelin’ album. The story is brought up to date with coverage of the New Beetle and plans for the VW Buzz, a modern electric version of the iconic Microbus due in 2022. Volkswagen: Beetles and Buses deserves a place in the motoring libraries of VW owners, automotive enthusiasts, and those simply interested in pop culture. It's the ultimate illustrated history of these beloved vehicles.
Download or read book VW Karmann Ghia Gold Portfolio 1955 1974 written by R.M. Clarke and published by Brooklands Books Limited. This book was released on 2006-07-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia represents one of those unique collaborations between three companies in two different countries: the Volkswagenwerke in Wolfsburg, Germany and Wilhelm Karmann in Osnabruck, Germany, and the Ghia coachworks in Turin, Italy. It also represents the efforts of four men who have all gone down in automobile history for their achievements: Heinrich Nordhoff at VW, Wilhelm Karmann at Karmann, Mario Boano and Luigi Segre at Ghia. From the moment the pretty coupe walked onto the world's stage it went straight into the motoring Hall of Fame. Interestingly, where most coupes of the time had some pretense towards being sporting, generally with a mildly hotted up engine, the Karmann Ghia was simply stock VW Beetle from the mechanical point of view. In other words, it was still a 72-75mph car, it just looked great doing it! And that is why owners loved it. By 1961 VW introduced the Karmann 1500 based on the Type 3 platform to supplement the original. It was nowhere near as successful and was withdrawn from production in 1969, long before its older and more famous sibling. There is a strong and enthusiastic following for the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia coupe all around the world, a movement that seems to grow each year.
