Description
VW Bug – Full color 10″ x 13″ ad has a photo of the Hinsleys of Dora, Missouri standing (and sitting)in front of their VW Bug which is parked in front of their very rustic log cabin. The ad headline explains what a VW is doing in front of a beat up old cabin by saying, “It was the only thing to do after the mule died”. The text explains that when their mule died they had to decide between buying a new mule or a used Bug. They considered the cold Ozark winters, the difference between hay and gasoline, the rough road leading to their cabin and the fact that the VW didn’t need a barn. This ended up being an easy decision.
