| Publisher Description: Even though the original VW bus has been out of production for decades, still it's instantly recognized as an Object of Great Cultural Impact. Kids give it the peace sign. Grownups nod and smile in its presence. Latter day hippies hump the tail pipe while their dogs anoint the sacred tires. Like a good memory or a bad odor, the thing just won't go away. Kidding aside, the image is more durable than the vehicle that spawned it. Today, VW Busses are seldom seen and rarely driven. An exception is the Bus in this book. It's a '62 bought in '66 and driven for over 50 years by a drug-free driver all over the US and Canada in all four seasons on ice, gravel, and pavement also through, mud, dust, snow, high and low grass and weeds and occasionally into lakes, streams, and ditches - - as well as getting smacked by other drivers and itself smacking more than once into walls, poles, snakes, and trees. But that's only the small half of the story. So, what's the big half? For that you need to look inside. |
