Description from the seller

Book 1

VW 1500/1600 - Typ 3 1961 - 1973
95 pages
Hard cover
23 x 25 cm
Language : German

The Volkswagen Type 3 may not have been (quite) as successful as the Beetle, but with almost 2.6 million units built between 1961 and 1973, VW's first mid-range car was certainly no flop. Achim Gaier documents the history of this successful model and its appearance in contemporary advertising materials, brochures, and press reports in this volume of the successful "Schrader Type Chronicle" series.

This in-depth study of the VW Type 4, Wolfsburg's first luxury car and Volkswagen's final all new air-cooled car, is the first English language book dedicated to Volkswagen's 411 and 412 models.
