Dasher – Full color 8″ x 11″ ad for the Features that set this Wagon apart from wagons of 1974 and from the future. The headline, that shows a picture of a Red 1974 Dasher from behind with the tailgate open, claims that “No other Wagon has all this, or is likely to. Not for Years”. There is another picture of this same car from the front, parked and waiting for you to step in and drive away. The text talks about this car having power yet being able to get 25 mpg, being a cinch to park yet having “specially designed rear suspension” to handle those big loads you are bound to want to haul. It mentions the low loading platform that will allow you to slide your groceries in instead of lifting them up and over plus being a front-wheel driven car. It claims to only need maintenance every 10,000 miles and mentions having Skidbreaker which will ensure your panic stops going in a straight line. The calls this “A new kind of Volkswagen“.
