With over 20 million Beetles built since the 1940's,
there has also been a fair share of chopped up and mutilated Beetles. Some Beetles
get treated to chopped tops, a modification that was popular in the 1970s, but
is still comon today. Some busses get unusual paint jobs, or become the tool
of some wacko's imagination, while others are produced to be different than most
busses.
One thing is clear. Volkswagens go beyond their
stock forms almost always today. In some cases, they radically depart from their
original states. In these pages, you can see almost all of the pictures I have
of "unusual Volkswagens." Almost all of them are real enough that they can and
are driven, some others are just built to look strange, but aren't ever used,
and some are just examples of what can be done with modern photo editing programs.
