July 1955 Popular Mechanics Magazine. This is the iconic issue featuring the last of the Barndoor Westfalias. It is a beautifully preserved undamaged crisp example. The front cover is close to being printer fresh showing only a hint of ever bring handled. The colors are bright and bold. There is no writing, no creases, no tears, no stains. The 2 page article on the Bus sings the praises of the VW particularly initial cost, variety of models, and low repair costs. Some pricing info is also included.
There's even brief mention a photo of the VW Ambulance.
The book is in beautiful very gently used condition. It has never been opened right up which would damage the spine. The spine is excellent. It's a nice tight book. The back cover has one corner crease. I didn't photograph the back cover cuz it's just a guy and a chick smoking Camel cigarettes under a tree. There's alot of other really cool stuff in the book as well, not just the VW piece. And it rings of that simpler softer time that so many of us would desperately love to have back. This magazine is very difficult to find in this condition. Most remaining examples are torn up, taped up, stained, and fuc$ed up. This one is a true beauty. An important piece for any early VW collector......especially important for Barndoor guys.
