Few would argue that no other car has captured the imagination of the world quite like the Volkswagen Beetle. Originally conceived as "the People's Car," the Beetle's rise to fame coincided with that of the Third Reich. Despite this infamous connection, the Beetle survived through the years in many variations, although it remained true to its original and distinctive form. Table of Contents 1. PART ONE: A PRODUCTION HISTORY OF "THE PEOPLE'S CAR" Porsche and the early Volkswagens, Hitler and his "People's Car", The Beetle goes to war, The British save the Beetle, The reign of Heinrich Nordhoff, The Beetle comes to America, The Beetle's golden era, The Beetle and Latin America, Other Beetle-based models, 2. PART TWO: VOLKSWAGEN BY THE NUMBERS—YEAR BY YEAR MODEL CHANGES, 1945 through 1967 model changes. Author Ryan Lee Price, editor of VW Trends magazine, takes a detailed look at the development of the Beetle during its early days. Included are detailed production numbers listing tear by year model changes in areas of engine, driveline and chassis, making this an indispensable reference tool for the avid VW enthusiast.
