Käfer und Bulli

Volkswagen is one of the most popular brands in the history of automotive manufacturing. The company's popularity has been defined over seven decades by two cars that everyone instantly recognizes. In "Beetle and Bus," Russell Hayes explores all aspects of these legendary vehicles, starting with mass production in post-war Germany, through design changes, the immensely popular advertising campaigns, motorsport successes, and the tuning scene, to their achievements in film and television. Hayes' lovingly illustrated and knowledgeable narrative celebrates both icons in a dignified manner right up to the end of Beetle production in 2019. The book concludes with a look at the company's plans to keep the legend of the bus alive with the ID. BUZZ, a modern, electric version of the cult transporter. "Beetle and Bus" belongs on the bookshelf of every VW enthusiast, car fanatic, and friend of pop culture – it is the ultimate story of two cult vehicles.
