VW Beetle Cabriolet: The Cars and Their Story 1949-80

Volkswagen owners get dewey-eyed with nostalgia just thinking about their old Beetles. This was a vehicle of a thousand stories, and My Bug presents some of the best of them in all their tie-dyed glory. More than 40 brand-new stories, poems, anecdotes, and general love letters plus 100 treasured photographs, illustrations, and cartoons from smitten owners recall the highs and lows of the golden days of Beetlemania: water splashing through holes in the rusted floor; trying to make out in the backseat (indeed, trying to make it out of the backseat); the mystery test button on the dash, the secret panel behind the footrest, the battery so conveniently(!) located under the backseat, the scalding blast of sudden heat as the car chugged up an incline.

Designed in Hitler's Germany by the Porsche organization as a car for the people, the Volkswagen 'Beetle' was unveiled in 1938. With the advent of the Second World War, the Beetle saw action from the Eastern front to the Western Desert of Africa. Detailed appraisals on the Beetle's design and performance by motor companies such as Humber and Singer make this report absorbing reading material for all Beetle enthusiasts.
