Description
VW – Black and white 10″ x 13″ that asks the question “Why are people buying Volkswagens faster than they can be made”. The text of the ad gives eight reasons that include Air-cooled engine can’t freeze or overheat, Good control in ice and snow, Torsion-bar suspension holds the road, Doesn’t go out of style, The meaning of craftsmanship, 32 mpg and fun to drive, Service is fast, economical, everywhere and the number eight reason is The price of a VW is $1565 complete. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
