famous vw beetle snow plow commercial

http://www.painteddesigns.nl
Nice problem: when the driver of a snowplow drives to work, what kind of car does he need? Indeed, a volkswagen beetle. What else!

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

This commercial would have been better without any text at all. The images tell enough.

@mipmipmipmipmip

I couldm't agree more!!

Translation:

"Have you ever wondered how the man who drives a snowplow, drives TO the snowplow? This one drives a Volkswagen...so you can stop wondering."

the clutch to get it started.

Both were great driving in the winter. The camber of the wheels allowed us to let go of the steering wheel and it would "track" around nicely banked curves free handed! We often drove in deep snow with no problem. Yes it would "snow plow" but we could go through most snows. Lived in western and northern MI where "Lake Effect" snow meant deep accumulation. Of course our road commissions knew how to deal with lots of snow.

We had a'71 Squareback Sedan, 12 volt, ran just great, heated fine. We had an auxiliary heater and a fan for the windshield defroster. Didn't have much problem with fogging or heat. Our '66 Squareback, 6 volt, had no aux. heater and no fan. It was not warm all the time especially on short trips. Windshield did fog up. Ours were garaged and still on our '66 we had to heat the oil pan with cans of sterno to assist the start. Often we pushed it to the top of the hill in our drive to "pop"

@CoasterBeach You poor thing I guess you're used to the best of everything.

Agreed on the heater. The heaters were more than adequate. Mine melted a cassette that was lying on the floor near a vent. Problem was that the ducts were in the floor boards, and when they started to rust, the heat went outside.

The voiceover is worthy of mention:

"How does the man who drives the snowplow get to the snowplow?"

"He drives a volkwagen"

[hypnolobster]

@luminaeus Exactly :)

[luminaeus]

@hypnolobster

They were designed to be maintained. Do the maintenance and they last forever, as evidenced by the fact that people are still driving the original Beetles :)

[geargemartin]

@hypnolobster I bought a new Squareback in '72. In the winter my feet would roast and my ears would freeze, and lets not forget the obligatory towel to wipe the inside of the windshield. But regardless of the quirky heater and ineffective defogger I loved that car. Put 300K miles on it before it got stolen.

I love my beetle :)

@CoasterBeach fuck you the old vw beetle is the best car ever made
