Description
VW Bug – Black and white 10″ x 13″ ad shows a white VW police car cruising through the town of Scottsboro, Alabama. The ad headline carries the stern warning “Don’t laugh” and the text describes how Officer H. L. Wilkerson uses it every day on parking meter detail. The text mentions the success this car had during the 12″ snowfall in 1964 and also mentions that one time this car and officer chased after and caught a speeder. The text ponders whether the speeder or the officer was more surprised. As far as upkeep, it still averages 29 miles per gallon and has never had a breakdown. The only care that this car has needed is to have it’s clutch replaced and its valves adjusted. That is all.
