Description
VW Bug – Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad that illustrates just how well built these automobiles really are. The ad has a picture that shows a Dark-Colored VW Bug from the front with the driver’s side door open and the window rolled down about an inch. The ad headline let’s you know that the ad will explain to you “Why you should open a window before you close the door of a Volkswagen“. The ad describes how airtight this car is and how difficult it will be to try and close a door if you don’t give yourself a head start by lowering a window to avoid hitting that “solid wall of trapped air”. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
