vw beetle song (1949)

http://www.painteddesigns.nl
A short film was made in 1949 by 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. I was told the pretty lady in this clip is NOT Hilde Hildebrand, but she appears in the film this scene was extracted from. She was a well known german pre-war actress. She plays alongside less well known actors like Jakob tiedtke, Beppo Brem appear in this short film.

This song is sung at the end of the 58 minutes movie. It is - of course - in German, but the sound is very poor. Remember that the clip was shot only in 1949!

No, the lovely Lady is definately NOT Hilde Hildebrand. Hilde Hildebrand war sehr viel älter, hatte eine rauchige tiefe Stimme - und war ein unvergesslicher Vamp in zahlreichen UFA-Filmen, wie z.B. "Amphytrion", "Die englische Heirat", "Viktor und Viktoria" und "Allotria".

Thankx for your information. I looked her op on wikipedia, and read that she appeared in this film. That's why I thought the lady appearing was Hilde.

The pretty lady singing in the beetle is Edith Oss. Hilde Hildebrand is the other lady driving the bigger car that is talking to the gas station attendant who is servicing her car, when the beetle pulls in

I love how short the windshields are in a pre '58. I am putting in a 52 windshield cutout in my 62, along with a 54 rear window. I will have vids on my page soon for that.

I always wondered how the Krauts smuggled Hitler out of Germany. Now we know.

aahhh thanks HITLER for makin volswagen bugs sooo poular

[hebneh]

So what are they singing about? They happen to be in VW, but I doubt that has anything to do with the song's lyrics.

skimboarding7 have you seen my videos? I like to think it looks pretty damn good cropped. The bug had to be cut in a few places anyway with rust damage and some body damage. Check them out and let me know what you think. Other than the dash and door handles it looks authentic.
