Ironically, my Dad was a snow plow driver. What did he use to get to his snow plow? A 1974 Beetle! An orange one. True story!
That's pretty funny. He was sort of famous: "Hey, you're the guy..." 😁
They were Great cars and had great traction in snow.
The marketing was genius at its finest.
My dad had a VW BETTLE, and he would drive it in the mountains in winter. It NEVER got stuck👍
My brother-in-law was marketing manager at VW. They really did have some good ideas. Well done OO!
I own a 1967 Beetle, my daily driver too!
I love this ads.
Thumbs up from Germany.
Dustin Hoffman doing a VW fastback ad showing how much room it had inside - how ironic, given his diminutive size!
Man I love those classic beetles!👌🥰👍👉♥️ Back in the 70s my brother and sister had one! I used to love driving them!
I'VE OWNED 56', 64' AND 67' BUGS AND A 61' TRANSPORTER... THE BEST CARS I'VE EVER OWNED 👍🏻😎
My first car was a 1970 Beetle. One of the best cars I’ve ever owned. In 1976 my wife and I were looking at a brand new Beetle for $1795.00. I think hyperinflation is already here!
Some ads I’ve never seen before, cool!
VWs will definitely float. It is just that they won't float indefinitely.
Henry Blake, MASH had another life it seems😂
I'll be honest, if VW still made this old-style Beetle, I'd buy one. My neighbor had one when I was a kid, and she'd take me places in it. I thought it was a really cool car, and she never got stuck in the snow with it.
I own a 1969 VW Autostick, just redone the torque converter. It's my daily driver. I love um.
Still regret selling my bug. Simple but great, reliable cars (the later versions like mine). Ok, tolerances aren't that tight, and you have to watch the body to not let it be eaten by rust, but it will get you from a to b and back with a smile on your face!
But the cost of old VW parts is beyond obscene especially in countries where there isn't third party parts available but only those made by VW like a muffler for $2800 for a T2 Transporter.
OMG... I remember most of these...
Great collection; thanks for including the Jimmy Durante one ("...more breathing room...for da ol' schnozzola!") Learned to drive on a '62 Beetle; wish I still had it...
I love VW Käfer 1200 cc. I had one 1200 cc VW Käfer used car bought in Aachen Germany in 1970 paid 800 Deutsche green colour it had no petrol Guage no radio.. Fantastic car drive from München to Salzburg to Berichtesgaden and to Leoben... Best car.
My "first"had that little lever near the pedals to switch the last drop ..5 liter..on... no petrol guage.

Where is the " YOU CANT KILL THE BUG " commercial I think it was the most humerous comercial VW ever put out!!!.
You don't get into a Beetle. You put it on
Reality better than
any advertisement -
Still have my 60 Stan
and can even play 🎸
on it's roof 😜✌️
I find it very humorous, that at 7:04 all the car brands in the commercial, only Volkswagen is still around.
25:45 Here is an interesting analog OBD system.
Buzz Aldrin, the Apollo 11 AstroNot, is currently 94 years old. He proved the Van Allen Radiation Belts are good for your health.
You are schizophrenic
VW beetle great car!!!
Great video.
Where’s the heater control?
- coming soon
When I was a kid (1960's) I remember my dad saying that they were air-cooled engine junk and that he would see them regularly along the highways with the "trunks up." LOL! Sure enough as I got older it proved true. I rode in a bug once and it was loud inside, crazy small, hard ride and everything was plastic. I noticed that even the doors were cardboard thin and knew for sure then that I would never EVER buy one! Funny how so many people have been duped by buying one of them...all because they looked different and was good on gas (when they ran.)
16:20 is this Dustin Hoffman ?
i used to see those beetles all the time... usually parked on the side of the road on a steep climb in summer😂😂😂
They were great cars, but the heaters always Sucked
Truly the greatest car and advertising EVER!
LONG LIVE VW! 🚗 🇩🇪
If you do not know by now what junk they truly are you never will lol!
I remember those VW commercials what memories..
Evil little things.
One of the best, least expensive and easiest cars to work on and own ever made. Then they stopped making them... We are living in a greedy, power-hungry idiot world. 😠
I have said this several times before the makers of original Volkswagens beetles had the best ideas if only all auto makers did the same with all automobiles made we would all be safer nicer on our roads less crowded safer driving tho one problem is those volks who donot do proper mantaince on schedule or if things happen not sure of to do quick donot always have it looked at until problems this is not all volks but some on my last automobile I watched it all weather god bad drove less only easy slow does it from past learnings some of this is not possible to do when distance to auto shop closed you sick or else wise doing your best to avoid stop go traffic helps too preventwear tear on some parts now cars who wears what so called sex fashions our past lives on things we did at home dating music was better or more I love these videos comedy history just too bad we have to work mucho to pay bills slaves to debt credit cards who enjoys life much anymore bye bye
16:47 MacLean Stevenson I know . I wonder who was the female in the bathing suit ?
Took me 20 minutes and 3 wrenches.
If I remember correctly you could do almost all the work w a 17 mm wrench.
@@unlvqasl yes, I believe that it was a 10mm,12mm and a 17mm, the hardest part was getting the heater cables loose from the heat exchanger at the engine.

...and I could change the fan-belt!
