Description
VW Bus – Full color 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad for the 1964 VW Bus. This ad has a view of the back end of this vehicle with the tailgate open and the headline saying that there is “Plenty of room at the rear of the bus”. It does look expansive seeing all those windows along both sides. “There’s plenty of room in back of a VW Station Wagon because there’s no front. The whole thing is rear. Beginning to end. Except for the number of seats (a mere 9), you’d swear you were in the real thing. There’s almost as much headroom as in a real bus, and 21 windows to go around. The VW is narrower than a real bus, but the doors are even wider. And if you’d like a genuine, bus-type aisle to pace up and down, it’s yours. The really staggering thing is how much the Volkswagen Station Wagon can hold. Not quite as much as a real bus, but almost twice what goes into a real wagon. Which is a pretty good trick, considering that the VW is 4 feet shorter. (The VW is the only bus that can park in a bus stop and still leave room for the bus.) Outside, the VW Station Wagon may be front-less. But inside, it’s endless”.
