Description
VW Bus – Full color 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad for the amazing Room available with the VW Bus. There is a large picture of a Red and White VW Bus parked facing the camera with nine men from a softball or baseball team seated and standing around it. The headline says that “It can manage the whole team” and tells us that it “will take half a ball game to a ball game”. Or, to put it in more precise terms, “It will hold nine players, fifteen pieces of luggage, balls, bats, bases and a goodly supply of crying towels”. The text then talks about it getting 23 miles to a gallon of gasoline and doing this on 5 pints of oil instead of 5 quarts while costing as little as $2,672.
