Authors: Hans J. Schneider
One for all ...
Right after the "Beetle" came the second great success of the Wolfsburg-based manufacturer VW: the Transporter "Type 2/T1", later affectionately known as the "Bulli". The vehicle concept of a flexible small truck with a robust boxer engine in the rear fitted perfectly into the reconstruction years and the beginning of the economic miracle.
Small and medium-sized companies in all sectors used it to make deliveries, tradesmen brought people and materials to the scene of an incident, and the police, fire department and ambulance services relied on it. Finally, the universal automotive genius was also discovered as a camping vehicle. Between 1950 and 1967, around 1.8 million units rolled off the production line.
With more than 650 historic photos, Hans J. Schneider takes the reader on a journey into the incredibly diverse world of the first-series VW Transporter: from a baker's van to a rolling sales stand, from mining to the German Federal Railroad, from cash transport to blood donation services. The accompanying texts also bring to life an era that today exudes a great deal of nostalgic charm.
An appended documentation then deals with the technology in detail and contains original construction descriptions, chassis numbers, production figures and model maintenance measures. The "Lastesel des Wirtschaftswunder" is the album for all lovers of the first generation Bullis!
