http://www.painteddesigns.nl Australian vw beetle information film made in 1964. It shows the australian way of life, and how - of course - the vw beetle fits perfectly in that way of life.
The was the result of a cooperation between the australian government and volkswagen australasia. The vw plant was establised in Australia from 1959, which - of course - boosted the australian economy. That's what explains the coproduction of this short film.
It's fun to watch the more than 40 year old documentary footage of 'aussies' working, recreating and doing their thing, with the vw beetle! The oldfashioned voice over, the faint kodachrome color, it all brings me back to the '60's when life just seemed a little less complicated.
Please contact me if you're interested in the DVD. I also have a DVD with more than 100 vintage vw beetle commercials!

http://www.painteddesigns.nl this is another typical info-film mady by volkswagen in the late 1950s. It's fun to watch this 10 minute mini documentary! Especially the introduction (the man playing the organ) really looks clumsy in the beginning. Enjoy!

http://www.painteddesigns.nl This commercial didn't make it to my DVD containing more than 100 vintage beetle commercials. Why? Well, the commercial isn't vintage and it is not a beetle commercial. It's a general VW promo. Still, it's fun watching this one!

I admit: It takes some persistence to stay awake watching all 7 chapters of this 55 minute 'infomercial', which was shot in Germany in 1949. Even for the standards of those days the photographic quality is poor. The storyline is very thin and a bit staged. So it takes a real die-hard beetle lover to appreciate the film.
The first minutes of the film look like a wartime 'deutsche Wochenschau'. The powerful bombastic music amplifies that atmosphere.
The film was a collaboration between Esso and the Wolfsburg volkswagen plant. This was only 4 years after the war. Only few could affort to drive a car. Amazing is to see the early split window car playing a main role in the film: Kleiner Wagen, grosse Liebe. The pretty lady in this clip is Hilde Hildebrand. She was a well known german pre-war actress. She plays alongside less well known actors like Jakob tiedtke, Beppo Brem appear in this film.
