Buddy of mine who used to live in Kansas as a polo harlequin, y’all would love it! If you guys are at cars and coffee Saturday, I’ll show pictures
😂😂😂 please stop with auto tempest it’s not a good search engine 😂😂😂
Old English cars that had blinker arms that flipped down from the a pillar used blinker fluid as a hydraulic mechanism would lower the arm to indicate that you were signaling the turn😊
The Harlequin VW looks like half the cars rolling around South Auckland, where they've been crashed and had random parts bolted on from other wrecks to keep them going.
"where can i find a door...... THERE.."
Let's not forget the ultimate radio prank - Orson Welles and the War of the Worlds broadcast in 1938.
The very ultimate prank is Brandon as president.
Who is brandon? @@pistonburner6448
April actually covered that one on her radio show.
@@pistonburner6448seethe much?
@@yungkidnf Haha, look everyone: this guy loves Brandon!!
One reason Harlequins are rare is no one in the US would buy them so some dealer got a bunch of them and changed the body panels to make them all one color. Or so I've heard
Hey April, one of the best April Fool jokes was done here in Australia in the mid seventies. Australia was changing from Imperial measurements to Metric. Someone pranked us all with the Metric Clock! Ten hours instead of twelve and a hundred minutes per hour instead of 60. You would not believe how many people fell for it!
Everyone is forgetting that dealers couldn’t sell Harlequin Golf’s. So much so dealers started working together so they could swap body panels around and make the cars into solid color Golf’s. There are Harlequin Golf’s by VIN that are solid color and the owners don’t know what they own. I doubt a new Harlequin would do any better since we know people are far more talk than action.
VW fans should be infuriated. They should seek professional help. Not for this Harlequin, just for being VW fans.
wize guy here😂.: the riginal Harlekin ( it was a Marketing Projekt by Studenten at VW in Wolfsburg) it was never idea-ed as a Golf but only as a Polo.but so many people saw the ad that VW ended up making and actually selling it for a profit... so was the Golf ( as being the smalest 2000s VW Produkt being sold in the usa- a usa thing or..? ... lets watch the video :D
VW makes Porsche which is better then any other German car brand.
VAG is perfect in every way and can do no wrong.
VAG is the antichrist of the car world.
I see more people with VW tattoos than any other automaker. They do need help. Especially VW in the US. They don't try here at all. They are far behind the Japanese and Koreans.
my daily driver is a 1995 Golf Celebration Edition that i fully VR6 swapped. hauls my kiddos, hauls the groceries, and still can do well over 140mph on "streets in mexico." i do have pictures of it parked next to a beautiful Harlequin here in Omaha, tho. that car belongs to 1320's filmographer Fred White, he sometimes hits the local VW meets when he's not abroad with the 1320 crew.
also, in Europe, the Polo was called the Harlekin, and was never sold in the US. we got the Golf variant of the purdy colors. the 2nd Polo Harlekin to be imported to the US (the first one is owned by Jamie Orr in PA) won best of show at last years Omaha VW Club show and shine, and was a fantastic looking little hatch!
So April has gone from driving a '90s Lincoln Town Car to maybe a '90s VW Golf.
VW Super Beetle.
Hoovie that was an effective, nice quick transition in and out of an Autotempest advertisement, punctuated by using the program right after.
I always referred to that color scheme as the hippie paint. From the days people would swap different color fenders from different color Bugs
As a fellow southpaw, I'm hoping Tyler can put me onto something I've been looking everywhere for: A left-handed metric crescent wrench.
A better characterization of water is Hydrogen Hydroxide. That's how it comes apart.
My hot boy car was a 2004 GLI! $24k brand new! Great car until 36,000 (Warranty done) the 6 speed failed and it got rattle-y. Traded for a “riptide blue” C230 sedan.
I bought my wife a 2012 Tiguan in 2013 and I seriously tried to get it wrapped like a Harlequin version.
The wrap shop owner talked me out of it….
He is no longer in business and I’m sure my wife would have loved it.
However, the Tiguan has long since been sold and it’s remained its factory Black until it was sold.
These days you can certainly make your own by wrapping it.
In the early 70s. Volkswagen did a white Newspaper Beetle, that had front pages of various world newspaper pasted on the car. Mixed like a paper pile. VW was advertising base coat clear coat paint. It looked really cool.
My favorite RUclips channel!
April should get a Halequin VW! She could than dress up as Harley Quinn and Tyler could be the Joker! That would be epic. I would pay money to see them do Good Morning RUclips in character!!! VW would get all my love for initiating this! As Always, May God Bless you and yours!
I love the plaid seats in the golf.
Gotta love April and her willingness to rip tyler to bits. "Sounds like youre going to get your bodyparts stuck in the tailpipe or something "
Love it.
Tyler, youve got a stunning lady there...
As I said before, I will love Aprils car collection. A GN Buick, a landyacht and a Harlequin VW! Only missing a cool 50:s car. ❤👍🇸🇪
I'd love April! 😊
Tyler, and April. You need to make your own VW Harlequin. Also, not to forget that Ram also cheated on diesel ⛽️ results too.
Ah yes, Beachy Head in Sussex. Such a great place to be. I can’t believe so many fell for that prank. Thankfully they didn’t fall with the cliff though. Great show. Definitely make your own Harlequin though. 🌈
In Europe most people didn't know anything about Harlequin , and called it Benetton instead ( Apparel company which was known at the time for mixing colors on their products).
No, there was just a Polo available.
How could you possibly speak for whole of Europe?😅
They are known as Harlequins in Germany, that’s their name. I don’t know what Europe you’re from🤔
The most epic thing ever to involve VW was when Jezza did his commercial for the Scirocco on the old TG. "Berlin to Warsaw in one tank." Perhaps my opinion on this is due to my being left handed, and a bit "off".
In Canada we had a Harley Golf in ‘97 I think (?), Mexican build, 4 base colours and they literally exchanged the parts on the line. I also think we got 200 cars as well
They used panels from different vehicles to demonstrate the accuracy of their assembly lines and fit and finish.
Your hair extensions need a lowlight the same level as your natural color, a root melt and a lot more layering. Leaving it a solid level 9 blonde creates a very obvious line where your natural hair ends and the thick extensions begin.
There’s 11 Harlequin Vws on BAT right now but Auto Tempest doesn’t look there.
I have never seen April not happy.
April sure has a Spring in her step!
Whaddya ya mean it has to be a VW/Audi product? I had a brown Barracuda with an orange door and yellow fender. 😁
The Beemer M3 Pickup truck was cool!
Good Morning! Hello from Wisconsin! Have a great day!
There used to be one running around where I’m from, I always thought it was a wrecked car that someone just put back together with different colors!! 😂
I see a ring on that finger!
i saw it couple videos back
Can you imagine Hoovie proposing? "I found the cheapest date in the country!!" 😅
Been there since Dec of 23
@garys9694 hell, probably been before that. Probably before she even met Hoovie
@@garys9694 .
Had no idea these cars were a thing. And now I know.😂 Liked April's stories at the end.
One correction on the Harlequin. It wasnt just mix and match. The teal color for example was only for that car. Nothing else. So it was mix and match, but they were painted specifically for that purpose.
Thank you, beat me to it
Dihydrogen monoxide you got me at that LOL😅😅
That car always reminded me of a pair of platform shoes my sister had back in disco days that I roasted her endlessly for.
GMYT is the best ❤ thank you guys
"You're a genius" 🤣😂😅
@Halle77 Has Wraped his Plaid in Harklequin
I thought those things were something someone put together in a junkyard
they generally were, imitations outnumber the real thing by at least 1000x1 in the us
Blinker fluid is very real
1995? - 1996....is what I'm finding
Best ever April Fools prank was the guy in Alaska who made the volcano "erupt" by setting a huge tire fire in the caldera.
I knew the guy that did that. He was quite the town prankster. I lived in the town it happened (Sitka) but he did it well before I moved there.
the only Harlequin I know for sale currently is in Chandler, AZ for $6000
I seen last year i believe, or the last, Porsche done a few big celebrations & special edition paint jobs to represent all their le mans winner liveries, It left a bit of an impression on me on how vivid and wacky a throwback it was. I think they even did a special edition Xbox for that event for the buyers. Similar to a move Toyota done with the Gameboy Color back in the 90's!
Write with my left hand and vote with my right.
April, VW was one of the first to bring back retro and it put them back on the map in 1998 with the "New Beetle". Unfortunately that fad faded and Hoovie is right about them being completely in the boring category. They used to stand out a little now they try hard to blend in. Maybe the BUZZ will put them back on the map?
we need the Yellow/Red/Blue golfs with white bumpers to make a come back
One of my favorite cars was an 1984 GTI. Hard to find now and they go for a lot of money on BaT
April, you're on a farm. Get yourself a Golf and paint it yourself! Maybe do a fashion themed one, or something more personal. Or paint it to seem in a diaper. Or, show up to a wrapshop, looking like April, and ask for scraps of all kinds of colors of wrap. Use those superpowers for good!
Flea from RHCP had a Harlequin paint scheme on an 80’s Mercedes sedan.
In the early 2000s my parents bid on and won a harlequin golf 5 speed on eBay, only to find out the dealership had sold it local the day before. I love those and always think about what could have been...😢
I now own a VW alltrack in boring dark gray and have tried to convince my wife to let me harlequin wrap it to no avail. Double 😢
I wish we got the Scirocco R and the Golf R Cabrio in America.
It looks like a trailer park special.
Congratulations Tyler a huge upgrade from Vietnam to Chicago..Good luck my friend wish you the best
Funny fact from VW,s Home Turf ,,,, Mc.D and VW did a lottery ticket thing with the Harlequins in Germany ,, Sales dropped immediately ,,, Oh you´re driving a Mc.D prize , can´t afford to buy your own car ?
2002 was not a good year to do pranks like telling people that the water supply is tainted lol
April with a smooth add participation?! Legit youtuber now! What a great team! :)
Good luck finding one! 😂. Hoovie needs a good GTI in his life. I for one would love a modern Harlequin
A few Harlequinn's have shown up in Mexico, Beetles were also made. I can notify you when one becomes available if you like.
The Harlequin just reminds me of the only slightly cool-ish thing VW has ever been connected to: the movie Fire, Ice and Dynamite and VW sponsoring it in exchange for the appearance of their Golf Country 4x4 in it!
The whole film is amazing and crazy, from the director Willy Bogner to his idea of using the film as one huge product placement and marketing vehicle to get it funded, to the plot, the mess of its botched distribution...so basically everything about it!
I’ll be interested to see how Hoovie reacts when the IDBuzz finally shows up.
Color edition has been around since 90,s on vw cars 😮, i think its pretty damn cool❤
I think it would cool if they brought those back.
I was hoping to see the old school spaghetti tree April Fool's joke!
You could probably make your own Harlequin by hunting down different color parts from junkyards
I saw a real one for the first time the other day, it was really cool
The joke is on anyone that buys a VW!
Somewhere in the Los Angeles there's a guy has a used police car that he painted up really crazy and stenciled Joker on the side. 😀 We couldn't get a good photo in traffic, pity.
First one I saw made me think someone replaced the panels from a junkyard.
I’ve also seen a VW Eurovan from the same era painted the same way unless the owner did it themselves?
Wonder what the registration would state under color? “Multicolor” or “other”?
Ugh you didn't do any O and A pranks?! They were the best! Lol
The Harlequin cars were popular with the 1996 Olympics held in Atlanta.
That van in a diesel I would buy today.
You just missed out. One sold on BAT on April 9th for 25k.
Tried to remember that all thru this video, and was wondering why he couldn't find it, I guess because it was already sold
This isn't the first time they teased something like this that turned out to be fake. When they brought the Rabbit back years ago they ran a commercial that was a bunch of Rabbits "frolicking" together, and over the course of the commercial the colors (a mix of black, white, and a sort of pewter, iirc) started to blend as the Rabbits multiplied and I remember people being excited about the possibility of a Harlequin Rabbit.
There’s a Harlequin Polo for sale near me on marketplace
I am a lefty. Like the old saying goes if you are not left you're not right.
Righty tighty lefty loosey goosey. You took a left turn on a red light
Just like the outside, the engine bay is a mish-mash of odd parts that don’t work well together.
Lefty’s are “a little bit off”!!!??!? April - wtf??!??
Make your own Harlequin - buy a VW (using AutoTempest of course) and wrap it. A cheap but amazing gift and a cool video.
Honestly didn’t know VW was a thing anymore… after they 😢stopped making retro cool cars via Mexico 🇲🇽
Harlequins are only popular in the VW tuning community. There’s a reason they’re referred to as clown cars. If it’s not one by VIN then it’s not a harlequin.
Who remembers the spaghetti trees had a good harvest in the 1970s The British people believed it lol
It would be pretty cool to have your Cybertruck wrapped in the Tesla colors. Red, black, blue, white and leave one part silver. You'd have the worlds only Harlequin Tesla Cyber Truck edition truck.
the offroad BRZ got me this year ...
also does April have a single sister ?
I thought their earlier ad about their history that left out the 1940's was a bigger flop
It's something they could have done so easily. It's just they type of quirky thing that people would smile and love. I'm not the customer personally. It would be super easy. It's just pannel paint. Their customers love this stuff. How many beetles have you seen with the wind up thing in back with flower stickers? The fact they saw this as a joke is funny. It's literally their customers.
I thought those cars were created by people who got mismatch parts as their original parts were tied. I had no idea they were actual vw cars released from the factory. Why would you buy one???? We know April would 🤣. Bless her. April fools day was a joke made on us when they changed our calendar. April 1st is actually our New Year’s Day. Not January 1st. The jokes on us.
i LOVE the Harlequin golf.
Do you remember this one time we were all pranked by the pharmaceutical companies
❤❤❤❤❤love you guys
Have a great day my friends!
Spaghetti trees!!
VW is only boring in the US. In Europe they have a Tiguan R w/ 320hp. Arteon R shooting break, Golf R wagon. Would love to have those here 😢
Build the damn van u teased me with in like 97 at the auto show
Found 4 Harlekins in Germany
What would it cost to cut and package 100 harlequin wrap kits? Could suit a variety of cars with some margin around the edges.
How much would one pay for the kit?
Get a white GTI and vynal wrap it in Harliquin colors. VW has really lost itself and needs a marketing manager with some soul and a good sense of fun.
