Think small
18 New York University students have gotten into a sun-roof VW; a tight fit. The Volkswagen is sensibly sized for a family. Mother, Father, and three growing kids suit it nicely.
In economy runs, the VW averages close to 50 miles per gallon. You won''t do near that; after all, professional drivers have canny trade secrets. Want to know some? Write VW, Box #65, Englewood, N. J. Use regular gas and forget about oil between changes.
The VW is 4 feet shorter than a conventional car yet has as much leg room up front. While other cars are doomed to roam the crowded streets, you park in tiny places.
VW spare parts are inexpensive. A new front fender at an authorized VW dealer is $21.75.* A cylinder head, $19.95.* The nice thing is, they''re seldom needed.
A new Volkswagen sedan is $1,565.* Other than a radio and side view mirror, that includes everything you''ll really need.
In 1959 about 120,000 Americans thought small and bought VWs.
Think about it.
It makes your house look bigger.
Cars are getting to be bigger, so houses are getting to look smaller.
But one little Volkswagen can put everything back in its proper perspective.
A VW parked in front does big things for your house. And your garage. To say nothing of small parking spots and narrow roads.
On the other hand, a VW does make some things smaller.
Gas bills, for instance. At 32mpg, they''ll probably be half what you pay now.
You''ll probably never add oil between changes. You''ll certainly never need antifreeze. Tires go 40,000 miles. And even insurance costs less.
One thing you''d think might be smaller in a Volkswagen is the inside.
But there''s as much legroom in front of a VW as there is in the biggest cars.
When you think about it, you really have only two choices:
You can buy a bigger house for who-knows-how-much.
Or a Volkswagen for $1,675.*
