Yarrr matey.

And then Giugiaro did design the Passat, Golf, and Scirocco

1St the French surrendered, then the waited for the British and after that they decided to get engaged again and gloriously won vs the pirates, greetings from Berlin Germany 🇩🇪

The two top selling points of the Beetle in the 60's was it was cheap and they had ads on TV saying you could replace the entire engine for $200. Gas was still 30 cents a gallon then so fuel economy wasn't one of them..

Bring back the Bug!!!

I really miss the Beetle!

My first car was a beetle with sun roof……always remember how if you had the tape going full blast and banging out Joe Cocker one of the headlights dimmed…..😂

The most reliable car ever built 😊

One of the worst looking cars ever, but it sure could get around in the snow.

Mad Magazine once published a fake ad for VWs. It said, "The bank robber got away in a VW - but which one? VW - the perfect car for bank robbers!"

That rear window came out in 1958.

Is this a DDB agency add?

I loved my two VWs. One was a standard and one an automatic. My soon to be wife’s only complaint is when we drove through a puddle the rusted floor would allow spray to come up into the passenger compartment. Always started.

The oversteer was freaking dangerous. Especially for young drivers.

🚌 My growing up in a family of six was transported in a 1959 VW bus. I was the youngest, at 6yo. Dad ordered the bus to pick up on our arrival in Europe. We went thru Europe for four months then shipped it to Seattle, where we used it to go to Alaska, then Edmonton, then home again. Not all in one trip. That bus also did everyday transporting and delivery for Dad's print shop. It handled everything a trip up the Alcan Highway dished out.

My first decent car was a 1955 VW beetle that had 120,000 miles on the clock. After I collected it I ran out of fuel but by sheer good luck a VW dealership was close by. This was 1960 - yes, I’m a bit long in the tooth - and the German mechanics at the garage were enthusing over the car and explained about the small tap down by the pedals that controlled the reserve fuel tank. I sold it to buy a mini and years later I often saw the VW which was still going strong. I had so much fun and even went away for my honeymoon in it.

Very American.

That designer didn't try kicking the bumpers. The bumpers in mine collapsed at the slightest bump. He never had to bail out water from the rusted out holes in the floor, either

Remember standing up in sunroof while my dad was driving. My dad also liked the Beetle cause you didn’t need to put chains on when it snowed.

My parents had a '55 bug with the small rear window. 36 HP engine. 0-60 in about a half hour. I wish that I had it today.

Good ad.

The worst car ever.

Dad has a ‘65 type 1. Us kids in the back. Dog in the scoop bit above the engine. ⛺️ Tent on roof in a roof rack box thing he’d made. God it was slow. But it was reliable and very easy to work on. I longed for an Alegro but glad we kept the beetle. Everyone called it Herbie. Happy Days. I still own a type 2 today albeit a pick up.

Hitler's Car

My parents 1st Car, a 1960 Beetle with a sunroof, was gifted to them by Mothers parents, picked up in Germany, then 4 years in Italy, then to Washington, D.C., where I learned to drive it. Unfortunately, we junked it because of rust, which looking back now, wasn't that bad. Wish we had kept it. It was a treat to drive with a larger 1200 c.c.. motor, and was great on gas, always ran well. I helped rebuild the engine once at the mechanics shop. Later, I had a '68 Beetle, now I have a '72 Bus waiting on restoration after I drove it 350,000 miles, reaching 1/2 million miles total! Would still give an arm and leg for the 1960 sunroof.

I think the narrator sounds like HAL in 2001

I had three different Volkswagens with five different engines. Even had one with a bus engine in it! When the cop pulled me over he didn't ask me for my license, he asked me what I had in the damn thing that made it go that fast! I love my little VW, but sure could have used some heat!!

My father bought a 1960 VW. Very dependable. I learned to drive it. Even took my test for a driving license in it.

Narrator sounds like Jack Webb.

25mpg. 40bhp 1500cc.

I drove a late '70s VW pickup (they had them in Europe and West Germany). Terrible vehicle. Had to get the vehicle moving to defrost the windows! No heater motor!

Jack Torrance drove one

my first car, blue 1967, BOK483 WA, The Bokmobile.

My first car was a 15 year old "71 Super Beetle. My latest car is a 2017 Passat. There's something about German engineering that just keeps me coming back for more.

this b/w commercial has too much of a KdF wagen vibe to it.

Best car ever,workhorse nonstop,easy maintenance ,economic and a lot of fun to drive !

I still have the window sticker from my ‘65- $1666.56 plus tax and seat belts were $15. And I had a NEW car

I learned how to drive on a beetle in Germany, my grandfather had a few in the 50's, and my dad and uncle had some in the early 60's. Nobody thought it was a great car, but it was better than a motorcycle and that was all they could afford. They all upgraded to other vehicles

Excellent!

My Dad liked the Beetle because it was a small fuel efficient car that had decent size tires. We went camping in a Beetle. Two adults, 6 kids, and a dog. Dad, Mom, and the baby in the front seats. 4 kids in the back seat. One kid in the luggage compartment. Oh, and the dog in the back seat. A few months later we traded in the Beetle for a microbus. The dealer wished he had a film camera showing us getting out of the Beetle and getting in the microbus. We had that microbus until 1985. Three engines, over 200,000 miles later, we finally sold it. Including being able to see daylight through the floorboards on the passenger side.

Had to be.less I bought a 1973 Toyota Corolla for $2200.00

Parents bought one (1960) brand new. Nice car. Gave good service until it was stolen in 68.

The Beetle was advertised on TV for $1995.00 brand new back then

Thats why i am getting a catamaran., i dont like how much it goes sideways , so the Stability is important for comfort while sailing in my opinion.

That AI has a mind of its own.

French army arrested the pirates and then they released them as refugees in france

hilarious

Plz man these pirates must be given room temperature. You see how things will change. They do it because they get away with it . They allowed to kill you but you not allowed to fight back. Wake up plz

Q-ships should be re-introduced, they're the perfect counter to these pirates, we should also start issuing Letters of Marque again!
