I am dating myself here, but I used to love the old old VW beetle ads. One would show 2 bugs side be side a 1963 and the new 1964. They looked identical. The ad would say can you spot the 15 improvements we have made on the new Beetle? The style never changed just the mechanics.
The other one that was great was the one that showed a city street after a big snow fall and the voice over said " After a 12 " snowfall and you are waiting for the snowplow to arrive so you can get out of your laneway, have you ever wondered how the snowplow driver gets to the snowplow? The scene then shifts to a Beetle climbing up a snow covered hill heading to the garage where the snowplow is parked.
Best car I ever owned was a 62 vw bug 1200. Basic model. Didn't have a gas gauge, you used a dipstick to see how much gas was left. If you ran low there was a handle you turned to open the reserve which was about 1 gal. It did have a gas heater which really threw out the heat. If it wouldn't start because of a dead battery , just turn the key to on Put it in neutral , get out and push to get it rolling hop in, pop the clutch and away you went. Ontario allowed studded tires back then and in the winter I had 4 studded tires on that car and it went anywhere. Never got stuck once. The good old days...lol
