Volkswagen Beetle

VW enthusiast and author Laurance Meredith capitalizes on his connections in the European motoring community to obtain drives in some of the rarest Beetles in existence. The result is this collection of driving impressions ranging from the U.K.'s oldest surviving Beetle -- a rare Hebmueller -- to customized cars from throughout the model's history and the New Beetle. Two hundred specially commissioned color photographs accompany this unique reference for Beetle and automotive enthusiasts.
