All About the Volkswagen
Henry Elfrink
Henry Elfrink Publications |
Copyright 1958, this is one of the best period Volkswagen books
ever published. Elfrink knew the Volkswagen
market and history, he is a good writer, easy to understand and
includes many pictures. The first hundred and thirty or
so pages are about the stock mechanical aspects of the car. The last
sixty pages list monthly changes to the Beetle. There
are about ten pages on
industrial engines, then a detailed high performance
section which includes a Dietz dual carburetor setup, Judson supercharger,
and ink on the Okrasa kit. The last section in the book covers
VW and Porsche powered aircraft.
