Download or read book Volkswagen T3 written by Richard Copping and published by Crowood Press UK. This book was released on 2011-04-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has taken some time for Volkswagen's third-generation Transporter to gain the iconic status freely awarded to the first-generation 'Splittie' and its successor, the 'Bay'. Now, however, the T3, also variously called the T25, 'Wedge' or [less flatteringly] the 'Brick', is well and truly established as part of the classic VW scene. In part, this has been down to the soaring prices and limited availability of the earlier models, but perhaps too the T3 has finally been recognized as a worthy successor to those venerable classics, and maybe even cherished as the last of the air-cooled Volkswagens. Topics covered: Background story, 1949-1979.Design concept to production, 1973-1979.Full analysis of the T3's specifications. Air-cooled, diesel and water-cooled engines. Four-wheel-drive and luxury passenger-carrying models. Camping conversions.

Download or read book The People s Car written by Bernhard Rieger and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Lange stand er im Schatten seines Vorgängers "Bulli", inzwischen ist der VW T3 aber längst selbst zum Klassiker avanciert. Mit dem von 1979 bis 1992 gebauten Vielseitigkeitstalent gelang es Volkswagen, aus dem Transporter den bis heute erfolgreich vermarkteten Mulitvan zu entwickeln. Wie schon beim T1 und T2 fanden nicht nur Gewerbekunden Gefallen an dem wandlungsfähigen Wolfsburger, sondern immer mehr Kunden entdeckten den Transporter als Familien-, Freizeit- und Reisefahrzeug als Alternative zu den Modellen der Konkurrenz. Dementsprechend vielfältig sind die angebotenen Varianten, die nicht immer aus dem Werk in Hannover kamen, sondern auch von zahlreichen Spezialfirmen angefertigt wurden. Der VW-Spezialist und Erfolgsautor Richard Copping zeichnet in dieser Typenmonografie die spannende Geschichte vom kastigen Transporter zum Kultauto nach. Akribisch recherchiert, schildert er die Entwicklungsgeschichte des T3 und die technischen Verbesserungen über die Modelljahre hinweg. Ausführlich werden die Spezialanfertigungen bis hin zu den geliebten Camping-Ausführungen beschrieben. Neben den umfangreichen technischen Daten und vielen zeitgenössischen Fotos vervollständigt eine fundierte Auswertung der internationalen Pressestimmen und Testberichte aus jenen Jahren dieses außergewöhnliche Werk über einen der letzten Transporter seiner Art mit Heckantrieb und Heckmotor. Mit liebevollem Blick betrachtet und unterhaltsam geschrieben, ist dieses Buch ein interessantes Nachschlagewerk für jeden VW-Bus-Liebhaber von der ersten bis zur aktuellen Generation.
