Description
Volkswagen in General – Black and white 7 3/4″ x 10 3/4″ ad that speaks of relieving the discomfort of the high price of gasoline, in an earlier gas crunch. There is a picture of a clear glass filled with water and a somewhat familiar white tablet that is dissolving in the water with a trail of bubbles. This tablet has the insignia of Volkswagen on it and the headline suggests that “If gas pains persist, try Volkswagen“. The text starts by reminding us of the great gas mileage that a Volkswagen is capable of getting before mentioning the use of Pints of oil instead of Quarts and the lack of any Antifreeze to consider. It claims that a “Volkswagen can cure lots of problems that most cars can’t” and suggests hopefully, “Maybe you should take two”.
