DESCRIPTION:
This book tells the full story of the Transporter from the earliest "split-screen" types through the "bay window" models to the later generation vehicles.. When Dutchman Ben Pon saw motorized trollies built from Beetle chassis and running gear carrying components around Wolsburg in 1947, he sketched an outline for a simply constructed van. By November that year the first blueprints were available and just a year later the first VW transporter was unveiled. The concept of the transporter or "Bulli" as it was known in Germany, remain little changed throughout four decades of production, during which over five million examples were produced. Although Pon's "box on wheels" concept was initially turned down by the British, who were then managing the factory, the idea was taken up by Heinz Nordhoff who took over as VW's chief executive in 1948
Bay Window Devon Camper type 2 A Customer My name is Yvon (18 years) from the Netherlands, and since I was 15 I dreamed of having a Volkswagen Bus. I think it'll be great to go on vacation with friens and drive for many hours. When you see a very happy girl, driving a car like thatthen you knowit's me. I hope i'll get a car like that.Why do I like those cars? I set in the back of a bay window devon once, and it maked me feel like I was in 'the old times'. People smile at you, say that you have a nice car. And you don't see them much. Enough reasons? I think so. Bye to all you lucky people with a VW Bus!!!
