{"product_id":"9781784420208","title":"Volkswagen Beetle","description":"Few cars have achieved the iconic status of Volkswagen's classic and much-loved Beetle – yet its origins are intertwined with the dark days of Nazism. This book looks at those origins, at the marque's initial post-war rescue by the British and the effect of early VW Director General Heinz Nordhoff's forward-looking desire to perfect one model rather than spread the company's talent over a range of designs, at the impact of radical-minded advertising campaigns and at the Beetle's never-to-be-beaten production record for a single model of nearly 22 million cars. Bringing the reader right up to the present day, marque expert Richard A. Copping recounts the Beetle's story in a lively and authoritative manner guaranteed to delight devotee and casual browser alike.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47171977871600,"sku":"9781784420208","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781784420208_p0.jpg?v=1763726072","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781784420208","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
