Watch the female company when Jimmy Durante tells us how good life is with a vw beetle. This commercial was shot in 1973.
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
@Lampshade51 I think that was the Smothers Brothers Show he was on.

My first experience with VWs (of many) was with one of these, it had some rust issues in the channels so we had to sell it before it went Herbie on us. It was a good car though.

@Lampshade51 The car sure had room for his fedora.

Durante for Volkswagen? I didn't know he did this. Am I mortified! What a catastrastroke! Stop da music!
I remember when he was on one of those TV variety shows in the late 60s that featured a rock band with long hair. He looked at them, and said: "My luck. Hair comes back in style (removes hat to reveal his bald head) and I run outa merchandise!".
A wonderful, funny, and unique performer. As Groucho once said "Jesus, he was great!"

I think it was actually filmed in 1972, not long before his stroke, to announce the new 1973 model year VW cars.

This is one of Jimmy Durante's last appearances. It was filmed in 1973...a year after he suffered a stroke (1972) and was confined to a wheelchair.
Jimmy was a trooper until the end!
