This is a 1958 commercial. How do I know this? It tells you how the oval window was changed into a more bigger one. If you are an italian designer, you can expect everything.

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

  • What is the Italian designers name that changed the rear window?

  • I think it were the VW designers themselves. I think the whole story that an italian designer changed the window, is a myth.

  • these VW adds were great..

    My Son has a 1956 model

  • I think they did destroy the design, when they changed the rear window .....I simply love the oval

  • Nuccio Bertone is the great automobile Designer appearing in this comercial or an actor that quite resembles him. I would say it is the second option.

  • @beetlejuice150 it was pininfarina that (allegedly) changed the rear window

  • @beetlejuice150 I've heard that it was Pinifarina who suggested rear window enlargement.

  • It must be a 1957 commercial... VW always introduced the years model in the preceding August.

  • All people in this movie are obviously German actors. They speak Italian in the ad, but with a thick German accent, including the alleged designer. So the story that it was an Italian designer to change the oval shape of the rear window is probably only an adevertising stunt.

  • @beetlejuice150 Well, the VW ads of the time were usually based on true stories about the car, so, there's a good chance that it actually happened

  • I remember this story.

    We are lucky the only Pininfarina's hint was ONLY to enlarge the rear windows. Italians, now and in the past, are the better car designers, and their hints are orders for car manufacturers.
