Or with others?
Enh. But this guy doesn't seem that into it, either. Let the man smoke in peace!
Like collecting paintings? Or surf riding? Or driving with elan?
Go no further! You had me at surf riding!
If you like the special things in life—
That's me!
We have something special for you:
The VW 1300 Karmann Ghia
As a convertible and as a coupé.
Mmmmmmm...two-tone....
Both inside and out it's an elegant car.
Elegant? I'll say! Check out the pleats on that map pocket!
Hey, 17.1 cubic feet of luggage space is nothing to sneeze at!
Or do you prefer a more powerful car? Here it is.
The VW 1600 Karmann Ghia with a 65 hp twin carburetor engine.
MOAR TWO TONE
It is generously equipped.
Yeah, but those pleats aren't looking as tight as the 1300's....
I'll see your 17.1 cubic feet of luggage space, and raise you 22!
Above the VW Karmann Ghia is a luxurious car. And underneath the body: a genuine Volkswagen.
I'd probably get out of the Karmann Ghia before that luxurious car falls on it. (Punctuation, guys! It's important!)
That's why it's backed by VW Service in 136 countries throughout the world.
In all seriousness, this photo, like pretty much every one that's preceded it, is stunning. This brochure is a masterpiece of simplicity and elegance and using beautiful images and minimal text to create atmosphere and aspiration—and to brilliantly sell a product. I don't know that any other automaker before or since has ever approached the mastery of VW's '60s advertising.
