Meet the Beetle

“You won’t know it’s a Volkswagen until you’re outside.”

Got a pair of automobile commercials for you today. First, we have a November 1972 spot for the ’73 Volkswagen Super Beetle. My mom drove a yellow VW Beetle for ages. In fact, she had a few of them in succession. I used to love to ride in the “cubby hole” behind the back seats. There was just enough room in there for my 7 year old self to roll around without a seatbelt on. Good times.

Second, a spot for the 1974 Ford Pinto that aired in late December of 1973.
