Description
VW Bug – Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13″ with a view of a man checking out a Volkswagen with the headline quipping “How can you be sure you’re getting a ’62”. The headline suggests that no ’61’s left so you had better be looking for a ’62. It claims that the taillights are a half inch bigger and the VW gas gauge is newer but the other 26 changes are not going to be as easy to be seen. The heater outlets are bigger, both front and rear, braking takes less pressure and brake, clutch and steering parts no longer need any maintenance. You will find that the ’61 is a lot like the ’62 as far as needing work. And a lot like the ’63 will be too. These are two scanned views of a two-page ad. The actual bottom and outside of the pages are not visible in the scanned view so that the center, where the pages meet, can be completely seen.
