Description
Fastback – Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad that explains that no matter how different the Fastback looks from the VW Beetle, they both have the same quality. Or as the headline puts it, “It has all the beauty of the ugly one”. There is a picture in the ad with a Fastback in the foreground and a Beetle parked behind it and the text mentions a lot of features that the two cars share. It also mentions a few additional ones that the Fastback can brag about. It’s faster (84 mph), more room in the back seat and an actual trunk. Unfortunately it costs a little bit more but only $2143.
