VW Factory Pics - POST EM HERE
I enjoy seeing old photos of VW's on the assembly line looking all fresh and new.
If you have any good factory shots, post them here so we can all have a look.
I'll start this off with what I believe to be a Clayton factory shot!

Has anyone got that book in Volksfolks post:- Here is a review I found of it. It looks like it would be interesting......
Volkswagen : A Week at the Factory
In 1949, when Volkswagens first appeared on their highways, Americans took to the peculiar little car immediately. Small, funny-looking, and
functional, the unpretentious Volkswagen soon came to represent a way of life. In 1953, photographer Peter Keetman spent a week at the VW factory in
Wolfsburg, Germany, and emerged with a collection of remarkable images that tell the story of the creation of the Volkswagen. Seventy-one striking
duotone photographs not only illustrate the factory production process, but also transform the popular car into a work of art. From parts - piles of
steel sheets, stacks of gleaming chrome bumpers, mudguards, roofs, crankshafts, and camshaft gears - to production - body assembly, welding, and
painting, the images in this book capture the civic spirit of the people's car. Also included in this unique volume are three essays: the first
details the actual design and production of the Volkswagen; the second describes the factory in post-war Germany and its effort to instill a spirit of
community among the factory employees; and the third places the photographs in the context of modernist European photography. The first American
edition of a highly respected European photography classic, Volkswagen: A Week at the Factory is a landmark in the history of industrial photography
and a timeless look at a contemporary icon.

Volkswagen: A Week At The Factory
I gave a copy of that book to my uncle, Steve. It is a beautiful book. Lots of great artistic shots of rows upon rows of VW parts... mmmm. Nice.

Not sure where all the other pics went!
Digging through my hard disk I found these interesting Clayton pics too. They show beetles and Type 3's being painted alongside Datsuns! Not sure
whats happening there, maybe the paintshop did both types of cars!
Cheers
