It may not be the all time fastest but the VW Beetle has countless uses for its basic platform and drivetrain! Rebuilt as a buggy is among the most popular conversions! And yes, with careful modifications, you can even prep it to sail the ocean like a boat - and float indefinitely! Look closely at the specially-built exhaust pipes in this video.
I see by this commercial that even in Peru, Beetles got "customized" with hippie flower designs. This must've been fairly common, for it to appear in a commercial.
No shit. they share all the mechanical components and chassis, too, but that doesn't change the fact that they're not made by volkswagen. It's like ford advertising the lotus seven because you could put one of their engines in it.
@richardmaudsley77 THEY DO IN MEXICO in the 70's they use to make the buggy for the beach, also if you remove the shell of a beetle you"ll get a buggy ,same engine sporty style *
Tengo la certeza que es un comercial peruano. La voz es de Arturo Pomar, destacado locutor peruano ya fallecido, ademas las escenas en la arena parecen de las dunas de Ica al sur de Lima. Tambien hasta 1970 si se vendieron en el Peru la Kombi tipo 2, la Variant y el TL, ademas del Escarabajo que era ya emsamblado localmente. Recien ese año se cierran las importaciones y solamente se ensamblaban la Kombi brasilera y el Escarabajo Aleman en su version basica.
The Mexican Beeltes weren't made from German parts.. they were indigenous Mexican. (Indeed the cheapest pattern Beetle parts in Europe for the last 20 years have been 'Hecho en Mexico'.)
No se en su Paises como seria, pero en Mexico un Decreto Presidencial de 1962 prohibia la comercializacion de vehiculos no ensamblados en el Pais, asi que los mexicanos de ese entonces se privaron de disfrutar los Tipo 3, Karmann Ghia o escarabajos convertibles (Aunque nunca falto alguien con contactos en el Gobierno que podia importarlos); En ese entonces solo se ensamblaba el Tipo 1 y el Tipo 2 (Combi y Panel)
Así es, el comercial es peruano, allá por los años 60s, y la voz es del recordado Arturo Pomar, el mismo que narraba el Noticiero Conchán en Canal 4. Un abrazo a todos los peruanos.
Not mexican ad, because VW of Mexico never produced the Type 3; Maybe that cars was made it in Brazil for the South American market. (Hey! Check the Ultra-mega-rare double air filter in the beetle engine; WOW!)
No yet! in Brazil never exist the VW Type 3, in Brazil exist the another version inpired in Type 3, the VW 1600 4 doors, and sequencially the VW Variant e VW TL, every cars inspirated in the Type 3 line!
The commercial is peruvian indeed. The voice is from Arturo del Pomar as VWGustavo noted. In the 60's and early 70's the VWs were initially imported Germany and later from Brazil and Mexico. On late 70's beetles were assembled in Peru from parts imported from Brazil. Y los hacían muy bien!
Whichever is your preference (zoom to the Beetle): In detailing (interior of the Beetle) in its line (a... Type 2?) its capacity (a Type 4), for the family, for passangers (a Type 2 next to a lake) or cargo (two cargo-specific Type 2 appear and a very 70s Beetle drives by). But don't be surpised, because Volkswagen is surprising. (The whole line appears). Buying Volkswagen is buying functional economy (the last part, functional economy is what appears as the slogan).
A Volkswagen can do many things. It's surprising! (A Meyer Manx Flies by, some racing cars drive by and the VW Beetle wads in some kind of lake) The classic Volkswagen is surprising because it's hermetic. (Zoom to the Beetle). It's surprising thanks to its power (the hood opens revealing a working engine). Surprising thanks to its handling (the racing cars drift by).
I like that you put mexican commercials!!! I'm Venezuelan and I grows up watching Beetles (or in spanish: Escarabajo) in all tracks!!! how can I find the DVD "Legend On Wheels"? It have sound or subtitles in spanish? I want this DVD!!!

"Nobody actually made one"
So what, they pop out of the sky like magic? Do they grow from VW junkyards? Did herbie suffer severe radiation poisoning before becoming a father?
People make them. Cars don't just happen.
Unless you mean no company made them, in which case : WRONG. you can't exactly bake fiberglass in your driveway.

Whichever is your preference (zoom to the Beetle): In detailing (interior of the Beetle) in its line (a...

Translation:
A Volkswagen can do many things. It's surprising! (A Meyer Manx Flies by, some racing cars drive by and the VW Beetle wads in some kind of lake) The classic Volkswagen is surprising because it's hermetic. (Zoom to the Beetle). It's surprising thanks to its power (the hood opens revealing a working engine). Surprising thanks to its handling (the racing cars drift by).
