Description
VW Bug – Black and white 10″ x 13″ ad shows a view looking slightly up at a parked VW Bug with a headline asking the question “Why do we put such big wheels on our little car?”. The ad gives a few reliable answers, such as better grip and allowing the car to have bigger brakes, and some that are tongue-in-cheek. They claim that you can expect 40,000 miles on your original tires and brags that Mr. Robert Walton of Homestead, Florida actually got 103,346 on his.
