  • Introduction to R&C Database Compilation & Index
    Introduction to R&C Database Compilation & Index I have a long history and fondness for Rod & Custom magazine. This is the first magazine I purchased at age 10, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I often refer back to my collection, but find it hard to quickly lay my hands on a given article. This is for fellow HAMB members who share a love for this little magazine. This Index covers Rod & Custom Magazine from May 1953 through May 1974. I stopped at 1974 since R&C went out of print then. R&C was restarted in December 1988 and lasted until October 2014. This index is created for general reference, technical reference, research, tracing automobile histories, and genealogy. I have attempted to use a consistent categorization or article grouping scheme across all 20+ years, even though editors or previous compilations may not have used this convention. This index contains the following specific information: Title of each article along with a descriptive supplement such as club affiliation, noted customizers, past owners, professions, etc. The author’s and/or photographer’s name where space allowed. Featured vehicle year, make, model, & engine and/or engine displacement where available or where space allowed. Vehicle owner name, city and state. Where the country is other than the United States, I listed the country Product manufacturer name, city and state. Address may be included if space allowed. The month and page number of each feature article or photograph. The index is sorted by year, and a title at the top of each page indicates which year.

  • The VW E-Race
    The VW e-Race Beatriz Barreto prepared this case under the supervision of Patrícia Amaro Machado, in partial fulfillment of the Dissertation requirements for the degree of MSc in Management with Specialization in Strategy and Entrepreneurship at Universidade Católica Portuguesa, in January 2019, as a basis for class discussion. 1. Teaching Case The VW e-Race In the fall of 2018, pressure was on as the well-known leader of diesel cars Volkswagen (VW) was lagging behind on the EV’s technology. There had been almost 50 years of cars production with the German company ahead of their competitors, but in the EVs’ business they were showing some signs of slowing down. The last 3 years were testing the company’s capability to surpass difficulties at all levels. In September 2015, EPA1 had declared that VW was violating diesel emissions that affected 500,000 diesel cars. In June 2016 the board redesigned its core business and decided to focus more on zero-emissions alternatives.2 By this time, U.S. pioneer Tesla was already more experienced on the EV’s technology, delivering over 76,000 electric cars in 20163. With the emissions scandal, additional pressure of the new emissions rules for Europe and with the rapid advance of batteries technology, Volkswagen was lacking a reshaping strategy. On that year, VW CEO Matthias Müller announced “the most comprehensive electrification initiative in the automotive industry with Roadmap E”4. The company had plans to accelerate the electric transformation of the group vehicle portfolio by bringing 80 new electric vehicles to the market by 2025 (50 purely battery-powered vehicle and 30 plug-in hybrids).

Phaeton (the 'incandescent') was the son of the sun god Helios, who was the owner of the sun chariot. Derived from this, Phaetons also refer to the four-wheeled walking coaches which have been popular since the 18th century.

Put the ultimate finishing touch to your Phaeton by customising your choice of fittings, materials and colours to configure the Phaeton that most closely corre- sponds with your idea of a luxury saloon. The following pages give you an over- view of the options available. We will be glad to welcome you to “Die Gläserne Manufaktur” in Dresden where we will take all the time needed to help you create the Phaeton of your dreams. 03 Phaeton_Fakten_18_2010_10.indd 3 10.01.11 08:44 The 5-seater Phaeton: a basis to build on for the Phaeton, yet perfection in itself for the car. The standard 4-zone Climatronic lets you make individual settings for each of the four outer seats. This air conditioner has an indirect ventilation system which functions virtually draught-free. The elegant wood trim covering the air vents only opens when more powerful ventilation is required, demonstrating one of those small yet refined details that make the Phaeton so special. The seats have as standard cashmere-like upholstery with exceptionally high-grade visual and haptic qualities. There are, of course, also numerous leather options to choose from. The 5-seater Phaeton can comfortably and safely accom- modate up to three rear passengers if re- quired, but even if the centre rear seat remains unoccupied, it still serves a pur- pose.
