Wow, I didn't know they had footage from 1949, looks pretty high quality too. Very Happy

That's the wrong key for a Split Beetle. Cool

We all like seeing the old VWs. But most of us resent their lack of real support for the cars and owners, while playing on our heartstrings.
This is a very inward-looking ad. Successful advertising looks outward. Despite their posted text in the ad, this car needs to stand on its own in the marketplace. Reviews of that potential are mixed at best.
I hope they succeed regardless.

I remember when VWOA actively tried to suppress the aircooled scene and draw a line between it and the new cars.

Around 25 years ago it was a different scene with VW. I can remember businesses receiving cease and desist letters, products being taken off the shelfs and spy's looking for merchandise at shows and swap meets.
Never forget!
