Not your average cutaway drawing of the VW Rabbit engine and the illustrator is not R. Crumb. This was an illustration Peter Aschwanden did for the book How to Keep Your Volkswagen Rabbit Alive: A Manual of Step-by-Step Procedures for the Compleat Idiot. by Richard Sealey. It followed an earlier book by John Muir called How to Keep your Volkswagen Alive with technical drawings done in the same 60's counterculture style. His drawings are accurate but not technical in nature, they really make mechanical work seem less intimidating. Anyone in the sixties or seventies trying to keep his VW running would have felt completely at home with the style. More here. |
