    This is a faithful reproduction of the Floyd Clymer publication of the same title originally published in 1959. Written in a style that removes the mystique from "performance tuning", much of the technical jargon is replaced with easy to read language and, to the credit of the author, he gets the message across without the need for the reader to possess a degree in mechanical engineering. A straightforward common sense approach to the subject of improving a VW's performance and while many of the manufacturers of the performance items referenced within may no longer be in business and prices have changed considerably since 1959, many new suppliers have come forward with alternate performance products. In addition, many of the vintage parts routinely turn up at swap meets and can also be obtained through a variety of vintage performance parts suppliers. Therefore, while some of resources may have changed since 1959 the information is still applicable and should assist in providing the reader with appropriate data to aid in the selection of the newer performance products currently available. This how-to manual also includes complete technical data, tune-up information, fault finding charts and a detailed list of construction changes that took place between the years 1957 and 1959. Out-of-print and unavailable for many years, this book is becoming increasingly more difficult to find on the secondary market and we are pleased to be able to offer this reproduction as a service to all VW enthusiasts worldwide.

    148 pages, 344 illustrations, size 8.25 x 11 inches. Why is this book considered by many automotive historians as the "Most Complete Account" of the 1950 Carrera Panamericana Race? When the inaugural "Carrera Panamericana" road race was run in 1950, there was very little coverage of the race printed in the contemporary press of the day. Most European publications totally ignored the race or perhaps they did not even know it was happening, and while a few US newspapers managed to print a paragraph or two on a daily basis, it certainly was not "front page" news and much of the information was questionable and sometimes inaccurate. Even the reports that appeared in the specialized "Auto Racing" magazines were sketchy at best, and it appeared that those magazines did not take the race too seriously, or attach any significance to the possible future potential of the event. Looking back, it was fortuitous that publisher Floyd Clymer secured the services of Roland Goodman, a US newspaper reporter living in Mexico, to cover the race in depth and to document all of the finite details such as the race statistics, accurate lists of the drivers, cars etc. Had the Clymer-Goodman relationship not happened, much of the history of the 1950 race would have been lost forever. All too often details become clouded over the years and the Spanish language custom followed by most Mexican parents of attaching the mother's name after the father's name such that the son Agustin of Mr. Garcia and the former Miss Lopez would be named Agustin Garcia Lopez and, at times, may be referred to as Garcia or Lopez, which makes for questionable interpretation of reports at a later date. In other words, you had to be there to get it right and Roland Goodman was Floyd Clymer's "man on the spot" and our thanks should go out to both of them for creating this comprehensive record of the 1950 "Carrera Panamericana".
