Very classic and artful vw beetle commercial !!

http://www.painteddesigns.nl
This one is called Palette dansante. It's a very artful early commercial from the 1950's. Not a single word is said during the full 3 1/2 minutes! The commercial lacks the lighthearted, no-nonsense approach of the Doyle Dane & bernbach commercials. DD&B didn't yet work for volkswagen at the time this 'commercial' was shot.

From the DVD 'Legend on wheels'. Wanna have this DVD packed with 2 hours of high quality digitally remastered old vw commercials? The DVD really brings you back to the '60s and '70s. Send an email to: beetlejuice150@hotmail.com

That was... that was, I don't know what that was.

That's how I felt when I posted this...

Well, some beople buy the DVD and send back DVD's with commercials on it. I even received a VHS tape! Once in a while I compile a new DVD.

I must admit it becomes harder to find commercials I don't already have!

I cannot make my mind wich colour I like the best, probably the dark blue one, and the green one. Or probably the white one, and the red one, oH, no wait, I also like the light blue one. They are a piece of art.

[herbienbrian]

oh I get it they were saying that the bugs were like art,makes sence what a beutiful bunch of old ovals.

[Anni9910]

@Dave001976

I assume this commercial is showing what each beetle does, probably volkswageens idea that beetles are magical lol

[Sauron767]

[Joniel120]

When was that commercial? 50s?

[DdlyHeadshot]

Reminds me a bit of Trollollollollol...

[amsooldnot]

no offense , but were people high when making this commercial ? because it looks really weird .

[fanglaisbis]

Reminds me of a line from Repo Man: "Do a lot of acid, Bill? Back in the hippie days?"

Well, this is pretty quirky. When you have a captive audience in a movie theater, they'll just sit and watch for a few minutes in between other films - which is where this was originally shown.

I must say that the range of Beetle colors was not the most vibrant at that point. Not much of a palette range. Of course this film has likely faded somewhat in the last 50+ years, too.
