Description
VW Bus – Full color 10″ x 13″ ad shows a Red and White VW Bus parked alongside a city bus that has a destination of Jamaica Av. The ad headline admits that “We learned something from the big boys” and the text says that “We’re not above borrowing a good idea when we see one”. It admits that, like the city buses, the driver sits “way up front”, the engine is in back, there are windows all around, the seats are chair-high and “you can even have an aisle to step to the rear”. As far as differences it mentions less headroom, more doors and a sunroof. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
