Here is the first book to showcase the new Beetle since its advent. The Volkswagen Beetle is one of the world's most beloved
automobiles. The very mention of its name evokes fond recollections, from that "first car" to a road trip from one's youth. Today's new
Beetle is drawing crowds whenever it pulls into a parking lot, and is so popular that new owners include celebrities like Jerry Seinfeld,
Cindy Crawford, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Beetlemania explores our fascination with this lovable automotive icon, both past and
present. In this graphic, colorful volume, author Kate Mcleod shares the wealth of exciting inside information she collected from the
Volkswagen company archives, including a rare interview with the Beetle's original designer. Filled with fascinating trivia and great

Small Wonder: The Amazing Story of the Volkswagen Beetle
First published in 1965, "Small Wonder: The Amazing Story of the Volkswagen Beetle" is the most successful book of all time on the Beetle.
Originally selling over 1.2 million copies, "Small Wonder" is often quoted as the source by many subsequent histories. Now, Bentley
Publishers is releasing this new edition, with new foreword by the author, in honor of the new Beetle and the renewed interest in the original
Beetle.
Given complete access to Volkswagen archives in both Germany and the U.S. at the time of writing, author Walter Henry Nelson gives a
highly detailed account of the Beetle's development and success. Nelson gives many behind-the-scenes details and glimpses into the people
who shaped the company, providing a rich picture of how and why Volkswagen and the Beetle evolved as they did.
Filled with numerous personal tributes and valuable insights, "Small Wonder" provides the reader with a better understanding of the Beetle's
"cult car" status.
Volkswagen
Noted automobile historian James M. Flamming offers the ultimate book on the Volkswagen and the love affair it fostered with
generations of American auto owners. 16 pages in full color and more than 250 pages of text give readers the inside story on the VW,
from the prewar days of Hitler's Germany to the vehicles enshrined in the American counterculture of the '60s to the models poised to roll
off today's assembly lines.
Volkswagen Beetle, The
With its distinctive silhouette, unique rear-end engine, and exuberant go-anywhere air, the Volkswagen Beetle cut a swath through the
maze of larger, be-finned luxury sedans that crowded American roads in the 1950s and '60s. This celebration of the beloved car features
vintage, restored, and customized "Bugs," from the first Beetle to the 1998 model. Read how inventor Ferdinand Porsche struggled to
get his car into the hands of ordinary people and how Hitler helped him succeed and how the Beetle later captured the public's
imagination in the United States. See racing Bugs, well-loved Bugs, abandoned Bugs, rare Bugs, and--of course--the new Beetle, which
is causing another sensation on American roads today. 10 1/2" x 11 1/4". Color photos.
Volkswagen Beetle: Portrait of a Legend
Like a trip down memory lane, the stunning photographs in Volkswagen Beetle: Portrait of a Legend celebrate the social impact of the
Beetle. From its humble beginning, to its modest restart after World War II, to its success as the best selling bar in the world, to the
development of the Concept 1, the New Beetle prototype, Volkswagen Beetle: Portrait of a Legend tells the personal side of the Beetle
story.
Impressive production photos from Volkswagen's archives, as well as many from private collections, create an unforgettable viewpoint of
the Beetle legend over the years, and an exciting, occasionally melancholic study of an icon's rise to fame. The book also allows a trip
around the globe: after all, the Beetle was the first true world car.
The Volkswagen Beetle is arguably the most recognized industrial product shape ever produced. But more than that, it has endured for
generations, becoming a part of many families' cultural history. Volkswagen Beetle: Portrait of a Legend does not attempt to explain in
words the reasons for the Beetle's success and appeal-the pictures themselves tell the story.
