Book Synopsis Thirty Years of the Volkswagen Golf & Rabbit by : Kevin Clemens
Download or read book Thirty Years of the Volkswagen Golf & Rabbit written by Kevin Clemens and published by Enthusiast Books. This book was released on 2006-04-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1970s, Volkswagen was in deep trouble. Its venerable rear-engine air-cooled Beetle could no longer meet upcoming government regulations and its once phenomenal sales numbers had begun to slide. Something new was needed and the Giugiaro-designed Volkswagen Golf rose above all of the other concepts and designs. The Golf (called the Rabbit in the U.S.) was a modern car so different from the ancient Beetle, and in fact so different from anything else on the market that in Europe it's not called the "compact" class or "hatchback" class; it's called the "GOLF" class. This book covers the fascinating transition from Beetle to Golf and the subsequent development of the car that became Volkswagen's new icon. Included are Volkswagen archival photographs of early development projects and details about the people who built these charismatic cars. The story is more than facts and figures. It is an adventurous tale of a company whose future rested on the fenders of a hatchback economy car - a car that ultimately became a favorite of car enthusiasts around the world.

Book Synopsis An Economic History of Twentieth-Century Europe by : Ivan T. Berend
Download or read book An Economic History of Twentieth-Century Europe written by Ivan T. Berend and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-22 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of Ivan T. Berend's leading overview of economic regimes and economic performance from the start of the twentieth century to the present is fully updated to incorporate recent events, including the causes and impacts of the 2008 financial-economic crisis. Praised for its clear prose and uncluttered analytical style as well as its use of illustrative case studies, this is an integrated, comparative account of European economic development from the evolution of capitalism to the fascist and communist regimes and their collapse, and Europe's current economic problems. The book examines both successes and failures in responding to the challenges of this crisis-ridden but highly-successful age. It introduces the main factors behind economic growth and the various economic regimes that were invented and trialled. It also shows how the vast disparity which had existed between the European regions started gradually decreasing as a result of increased integration.
Book Synopsis The Business of Speed by : David N. Lucsko
Download or read book The Business of Speed written by David N. Lucsko and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2008-11-03 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2009 Outstanding Academic Title, Choice Since the mass production of Henry Ford’s Model T, car enthusiasts have been redesigning, rebuilding, and reengineering their vehicles for increased speed and technical efficiency. They purchase aftermarket parts, reconstruct engines, and enhance body designs, all in an effort to personalize and improve their vehicles. Why do these car enthusiasts modify their cars and where do they get their aftermarket parts? Here, David N. Lucsko provides the first scholarly history of America’s hot rod business. Lucsko examines the evolution of performance tuning through the lens of the $34-billion speed equipment industry that supports it. As early as 1910, dozens of small shops across the United States designed, manufactured, and sold add-on parts to consumers eager to employ new technologies as they tinkered with their cars. Operating for much of the twentieth century in the shadow of the Big Three automobile manufacturers—General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler—these businesses grew at an impressive rate, supplying young and old hot rodders with thousands of performance-boosting gadgets. Lucsko offers a rich and heretofore untold account of the culture and technology of the high-performance automotive aftermarket in the United States, offering a fresh perspective on the history of the automobile in America.
Book Synopsis American Cars, 1973-1980 by : J. “Kelly” Flory, Jr.
Download or read book American Cars, 1973-1980 written by J. “Kelly” Flory, Jr. and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2012-11-14 with total page 961 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1973 oil crisis forced the American automotive industry into a period of dramatic change, marked by stiff foreign competition, tougher product regulations and suddenly altered consumer demand. With gas prices soaring and the economy in a veritable tailspin, muscle cars and the massive "need-for-speed" engines of the late '60s were out, and fuel efficient compacts were in. By 1980, American manufacturers were churning out some of the most feature laden, yet smallest and most fuel efficient cars they had ever built. This exhaustive reference work details every model from each of the major American manufacturers from model years 1973 through 1980, including various "captive imports" (e.g. Dodge's Colt, built by Mitsubishi.) Within each model year, it reports on each manufacturer's significant news and details every model offered: its specifications, powertrain offerings, prices, standard features, major options, and production figures, among other facts. The work is heavily illustrated with approximately 1,300 photographs.

This comprehensive reference book follows the form of the author's popular volumes on American cars.

Book Synopsis The UAW's Southern Gamble by : Stephen J. Silvia
Download or read book The UAW's Southern Gamble written by Stephen J. Silvia and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2023-05-15 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The UAW's Southern Gamble is the first in-depth assessment of the United Auto Workers' efforts to organize foreign vehicle plants (Daimler-Chrysler, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, and Volkswagen) in the American South since 1989, an era when union membership declined precipitously. Stephen J. Silvia chronicles transnational union cooperation between the UAW and its counterparts in Brazil, France, Germany, and Japan and documents the development of employer strategies that have proven increasingly effective at thwarting unionization. Silvia shows that when organizing, unions must now fight on three fronts: at the worksite; in the corporate boardroom; and in the political realm. The UAW's Southern Gamble makes clear that the UAW's failed campaigns in the South can teach hard-won lessons about challenging the structural and legal roadblocks to union participation and effectively organizing workers within and beyond the auto industry.
Book Synopsis VW Bus Colour Family Album by : Andrea Sparrow
Download or read book VW Bus Colour Family Album written by Andrea Sparrow and published by Veloce Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 1997-10-01 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are few motor car manufacturers that can lay claim to a success story like that of the Volkswagen Beetle. There are even less that can boast two such stories. Yet the second Volkswagen model - known variously as the Type 2, the Transporter, the Bus and the Bulli - made quite a name for itself over its thirty-plus years of production. The Type 2 in all its forms still commands respect for its ruggedness, longevity and versatility, and has many thousands of fans all over the world. Some are also Beetle fanatics. Some have a particular interest in the earlier Split-window examples, or in the later Bay-windows. The last of the Transporters - the Wedge - commands a following, too. The beauty of the Transporter was that it could be so many things - delivery van, minibus, camper, or a mixture of all of them. Like the Beetle, the Bus will be around for a long time to come. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Arial}

Book Synopsis Car Wars: Fifty Years of Backstabbing, Infighting, And Industrial Espionage in the Global Market by : Mantle Jonathan
Download or read book Car Wars: Fifty Years of Backstabbing, Infighting, And Industrial Espionage in the Global Market written by Mantle Jonathan and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-01-05 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An "astonishing...eye-opening chronicle" (Publisher's Weekly) of backstabbing, infighting, and industrial theft and espionage in the world's biggest business. It makes empires; it destroys economies; it shapes history. Welcome to the world's biggest business--the automobile industry. A hundred years ago there were six highly experimental cars. Today there are close to 400 million cars on the planet: set bumper to bumper on a six-lane highway, they would stretch well over 200,000 miles, more than eight times around the earth. With hundreds of billions of dollars at stake, is it any wonder that the major car companies wage a relentless war against one another, where (almost) anything goes? Here is the story of all the schemes and deceits, treacheries and shady deals in the battle for the world's car markets since the dawn of the global economy fifty years ago. The first true biography of the automobile, Car Wars gives us the automotive history as seen through the windshield of the car--with stories so spectacular they are often hard to believe. From Gianni Agnelli's deal to make Fiats in the USSR at the height of the cold war and Jose Ignacio Lopez's defection from GM to VW, through Pehr Gyllenhammar's foiled attempt to merge Volvo and Renault, and on to Nicolas Hayek's deal with Mercedes-Benz to build the Swatchcar in 1997, Car Wars is a roller coaster ride down the freeways and the back roads of the world's premier business, and an eye-opening history of the world's best-known and most-loved cars.

Book Synopsis Volkswagen Golf GTI by : James Richardson
Download or read book Volkswagen Golf GTI written by James Richardson and published by Crowood Press UK. This book was released on 2009-05-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The V W Golf was planned to be a worthy successor to the venerable Beetle, a move that required dynamic thinking and a clean drawing board if Volkswagen was to continue to hold its position as one of the top automobile manufacturers. Where the Golf differed from the crowd was its distinctive body design. for here was the world's first hatchback. When Volkswagen launched the Golf GTI, over thirty years ago, it could hardly have known the impact its compact and sporty model would have on the car-buying public. Through an uncertain birth to its class-topping iconic status of today, rarely does a new model of car make a whole new market segment for itself but the Golf was the original hot hatch, a car that others would copy but seldom equal.
