A classic, an icon, and much more than just a car. For many owners,
the VW Beetle was practically a member of the family. For 65 years,
the favourite car with its friendly exterior was a major part of
the history of mobility. This fascinating book is a wonderful
journey through time: emotional, nostalgic, and fascinating. From
the very first model in 1938 to the final Beetle to roll off the
production line in Mexico in 2003, from Herbie the iconic movie
Beetle to quirky design variations, from the Beetle amphibious
vehicle to the Beetle police convertible, we all associate this
iconic car with a host of memories and even more emotions. And if
you spend enough time leafing through this volume, you might just
hear the distinctive sound of the boxer engine...
Launched in 1949 as the 92 before evolving into the 93, 96 2-stroke
and 96V4, this car was in production for thirty-one years.
Attracting global admiration and sales, it also excelled in
motorsport and by the early 1960s was the most successful rally-car
in Europe. A decline in sales in the 1960s was reversed with the
launch of the 96V4 which resulted in its success continuing into
the 1980s. With over 200 archive and colour photographs, this book
provides a new description of the Saab company's original car and
includes detailed biographies of important Saab figures and
extensive discussion of the engineering and design decisions that
made the car such a success. There is coverage of the original Saab
story in North and South America and a comprehensive review of Saab
92, 93, 96, motor sport history. Full technical details and
specifications and tuning details are given and finally, there is a
chapter on owners' experiences and Saab veteran's recollections.

Though usually regarded as a footnote in automotive history,
Maxwell Motor was one of the leading automobile producers in the
United States during the first quarter of the twentieth century,
and its cars offered several innovations to buyers of the time. For
instance, Maxwell's was the first popular car with its engine in
front instead of under the body, the first to be designed with
three-point suspension and shaft drive, and one of the earliest
cars to feature thermo-syphon cooling. In Maxwell Motor and the
Making of the Chrysler Corporation, Anthony J. Yanik examines the
machines, the process, and the men behind Maxwell, describing both
the vehicle engineering and the backroom wheeling and dealing that
characterized the emergence and disappearance of the early auto
companies. In this detailed history, Yanik charts the company's
evolution through the early Maxwell-Briscoe years, 1903-1912; the
Maxwell Motor Company years, 1913-1920; and finally the Maxwell
Motor Corporation years, 1921-1925. He considers the influential
leaders, including Jonathan Maxwell, Benjamin Briscoe, Walter
Flanders, and Walter P. Chrysler, who executed the business
decisions and corporate mergers that shaped each tumultuous era,
concluding with Chrysler's eventual deal to transfer all Maxwell
assets to form a new Chrysler Corporation in 1925. Yanik also
discusses the aftermath of Maxwell's dissolution and the fate of
its famous corporate leaders. For this study, Yanik draws on a
wealth of primary sources including old automotive trade journals,
the writings of Ben Briscoe and William Durant, and company records
in the Chrysler archives. Maxwell Motor and the Making of the
Chrysler Corporation fills a gap in existing automotive scholarship
and proves that the Maxwell story is an excellent resource for
documenting the development of the automobile industry in the early
twentieth century. Auto buffs and local historians will appreciate
Yanik's thorough and engaging look at this slice of automotive
history.
