Description
VW Bus – Full color 10″ x 13″ interesting ad shows a photo of a man who has taken an old red VW Bus and converted it into a take-out restaurant with stickers that say “Snacks”, “Frank’s Soup” and “Chili” and a sign that stands tall shouting “Eat”. The ad headline claims that “Old Volkswagen Station Wagons never die” and the ad text lists the many appliances necessary for running a restaurant that Frank was able to install in his “box”. The ad also mentions that the Standard VW Wagon costs only $2,337. He needed to install a refrigerator, a stove, an instant chili dispenser and a kitchen sink. Then, to get everything in, he opened the side doors and created a 4 foot x 4 foot hole.
