Cool. :-)
*snip*
Very cool Vintage Book from VOLKSWAGEN, USA.... Drawn by the legendary Cartoonist, VIRGIL F. PARTCH... Amazing 40 plus page cartoon book, all about Volkswagen Beetles..I'm guessing late 50s or early 60s.

Here's another tidbit about Partch from a bio:

The letter i in Vip was initially meant to represent the f of his middle name, but was so often mistaken for the letter i by Partch's classmates that Partch decided to adopt the letter i, creating the well-known moniker Vip.
