Coccinelle - La VW Type 1 dans tous ses états (Autofocus)

The one affectionately called the Beetle is a German car with an extraordinary destiny. This car, ordered by the Führer and designed by a certain Ferdinand Porsche, could have never been marketed.
Introduced in 1938, the Second World War reduced it to exclusively military use. It would be necessary to wait for the victory of the Allies in 1945 and the reconstruction of the Wolfsburg factory by the English army for both the Volkswagen brand and the Type 1 model to have a second chance.
With its design that evokes good humor and its practical and economical aspect, the most famous of VWs would quickly be adopted by motorists around the world.

In 65 years of existence, the Beetle has remained on the same line of conduct, while evolving over the kilometers. This book brings together 13 models that represent different styles that the Type 1 was able to adopt in the universe that it has created. Classic, high-performance, fun or simply charming, the Beetle is put in all its states throughout the pages of this book.

Coccinelle - Triomphe de la voiture populaire

In turn civilian then military, before returning to its original purpose as a robust and reliable popular car, the Volkswagen Beetle, the brilliant invention of Dr. Ferdinand Porsche, has entered the annals of automotive history. With a career spanning more than forty years, and more than twenty million units produced, the Beetle is one of the most famous cars in the world.

This work paints a portrait of it based on documentation that is both precise and lively, evoking this era of the return of prosperity after the disasters of the Second World War when the Beetle triumphed on all the roads on all the continents.

Technical documents, color illustrations, everything is done to illustrate the innumerable variants of this automobile icon that the little VW has become, right up to the "Beetle", its reincarnation of the third millennium.

Coccinelle, un art de vivre

Whether the Beetle is used as a taxi or a company vehicle for a craft brewery in Ecuador, whether it is a collector's item in Britain or a family heirloom in Indonesia, the 'people's car' is universal, and few vehicles inspire as much passion and enthusiasm, across generations and social classes, in every corner of the world.

Convertible and limousine, from red to rusty, from purple to polished, each Beetle has been able to steal the heart of its owner. And here are more than 20 love stories between an owner and his Beetle that are presented, from Switzerland to Belgium, via Sweden, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Great Britain, France, Germany, but also Tibet, Indonesia, Kenya, Ecuador or Dubai...
Stories of enthusiasts to laugh, share, marvel and dream. Magnificent landscapes, unusual and fascinating photos, a beautiful work that makes us meet the lovers of such a popular car.

Volkswagen Maggiolino (Beetle)

Some cars are able to transcend time to become real phenomena of their period. One member of this special category is the Volkswagen Beetle, the ingenious car designed by Ferdinand Porsche during the second half of the 1930s, of which more than 20 million examples were sold. And with the appearance of the New Beetle, the legend was renewed to live on to our days.

That is why it seemed almost a duty to update the book on the Beetle that was first published in 1989 and was reprinted many times, recounting the story of this evergreen car from the prototypes right the way through all the successive versions. The book does not omit the various body builders who worked with this car, nor does it turn its back on the technical and commercial history of the New Beetle, which has its own section in the publication. This "phenomenon on four wheels" is illustrated with hundreds of pictures and drawings and is accompanied by an accurate and rigorous text.

Text in Italian.

Classic Beetle - A VW Celebration

The specially commissioned photographs in this book display each Beetle variant model in their full glory. From the military vehicles of the 1930s through the post-WWII cars, up to and including the final German-built model of 1979, this book offers a loving tribute to the car in sumptuous detail.
The beautifully restored and kept cars of each decade are displayed across several double page spreads.

Parts of each model are shown in close-up, compared and explained using studio photographs of each model's steering wheels, indicators, engine bays and other aspects of design and function.
The history of the Beetle is illustrated using contemporary archive photography, and attention is given to the cultural impact of the Beetle as shown through movies (such as the Herbie franchise), advertising and graphic design.

This large format, fully illustrated book presents the Beetle as an object of art, albeit one that starts every time and will run forever on reused cooking oil, with a little modification.

Volkswagen Beetle : A Celebration of the World's Most Popular Car

Created through the ingenuity of Ferdinand Porsche, brought to the brink of series production by Hitler's Nazis and rescued from oblivion by the British after the war, the Beetle soon developed into a phenomenon under the guardianship of Heinz Nordhoff, the VW boss for two decades.

Overwhelmingly successful in over 150 countries across the world, most notably in the USA; when the car finally fell from grace in Europe after Nordhoff's death, it was destined to enjoy a revitalised and lengthy swansong in South America. The legendary Beetle's intriguing story is unravelled in this fascinating and handsome book.

The VW Beetle Story

The KdF car, a German acronym for Strength Through Joy, was conceived by Adolf Hitler's Third Reich as a true German 'people's car'. There is precious little in the legacy of 1930s Nazi Germany that is positive, but after the Second World war - and with a little help from the British - the Volks Wagen really did help put the average man on the road in a car, designed by the great Ferdinand Porsche, that was reliable and well-built.
First it set benchmarks for customer satisfaction across Europe, and sales soared. Then it arrived in North America and the slope-backed, rear-engined economy car became a cult hit.

By the time the very last original Beetle was built in 2003, over 21m had been built, making it by a long chalk the best-selling single car model of all time.
Although its concept is dated by modern standards, the Beetle magic is undimmed, which is why Volkswagen introduced an all-new, modern Beetle in 1998. It has carved out a niche as a distinctive and eye-catching car in a world of automotive clones.
