1950s
Commercial for Volkswagen Bug (Beetle). Commercial depicts a fake 1949 Auto show in which new and trendy models of 1949 cars are advertised: the De Soto, Studebaker, cars with holes in the side, Packard Dealership, the Hudson. Cheesy salesmen and women tout the benefits of the new car styles and models, a trio of 1940’s style singing girls sing about the 1949 Hudson.The salesman for the Volkswagen, however, is soft-spoken and mild-mannered in comparison to the others at the auto show, he is not surrounded by crowds or taken up by the spectacle of the show. Rather, he merely promises to keep improving the Volkswagen.
