1964 VOLKSWAGEN VW BEETLE Lot of (4) Genuine Ads ~ TAXI ~ FREE SHIPPING!
1964 Volkswagen Beetle Lot of (4) original vintage advertisements.
DESCRIPTION:
Think it over, New York, Chicago, San Francisco.
There are no real Volkswagen taxis. But there is one very good fake.
We drove our Volkswagen taxi through town on the way to get its picture taken.
And did we stop traffic!
You'd think it was the first sensible thing people had ever seen. And maybe it was.
A VW is 4 feet shorter than other cabs.
So a whole fleet of them is as good as getting miles of extra streets for free.
Because they're shorter, VWs get out of the way quicker. So traffic doesn't get all balled up while some lady hunts for a 5¢ tip.
The people who'd run Volkswagens could buy a lot more cabs for their money and run each one for a lot less, too.
They wouldn't need antifreeze in winter and they could forget about boiling over in
summer; the VW engine is air-cooled.
Above all, the two passengers and the driver of a VW cab would have more fun than any other three people in town.
It may sound peculiar to you to stand on a corner and yell, "Volkswagen!"
But it sounds beautiful to us.
VW
It’s a little too much car for the money.
Never mind the money.
It's a little too much car for the car.
The engine, for example, is assembled by hand. And we machine it to such close tolerances that it won't burn a thimbleful of oil.
Poke around the parts and you'll find things you won't even find on some high-priced sports jobs.
Like an oil cooler.
Or a carburetor de-icer.
Or a sealed bottom.
Or the only four wheel independent torsion bar suspension system on a sedan.
How do we get all those plums in for the price?
By spending our time on changes to make
the car work better. Not look different.
And the money we save by not retooling for new styles, we pour right back into the car. (Into a fourth coat of paint, for instance. For a finish you don’t look at, so much as into.)
Now for the money: ,595.* Fully assembled.
* SUGGESTED RETAIL PRICE, EAST COAST P.O.E. LOCAL TAXES AND OTHER DEALER DELIVERY CHARGES, IF ANY, OPTIONAL. WHITEWALLS OPTIONAL AT EXTRA COST.
VW
Are you big enough for it?
A Volkswagen can take on a very big person. (One owner who’s 6’8” says he can’t get comfortable in anything else.)
But you also have to be a very big person to take on a Volkswagen. Because buying a VW isn’t as easy as buying a regular car. It’s still the
exception, not the rule.
To begin with, VW’s don’t cost enough. And that can raise a few of the neighbors’ eyebrows right there.
Some people think you’re not entirely normal because they always resent what they don’t understand.
And they especially don’t like it when you can steal their parking spots and go in snow when they can’t even get started.
Or when they can’t even tell you what year car they’re up against.
Owning a VW can be a trial, but it also builds character.
No matter how big you are, it makes you just a little bigger.
