I'm seeking any information about a VW Promo 8mm or 16mm film I saw in high school around 1972-1975 that featured, among other models, a prototype bay window EV / electric pickup truck that had 'swappable" lead acid battery packs in the lower cargo bay.
IIRC, it showed an early Super Beetle on a skid pad / slalom course as well.
Any information about this VW Factory Promo Film would be appreciated.
Thanks, Rob AKA 914rrr
