    Ok, that's a pretty neat advertisement. Very clever VW, well done.

    Nice restored bus, but I didn't notice a price.

    Also noticed that those pictures are over 11 years old.

    Maybe, he just gave up and didn't bother cancelling the ad?
    They had an unusual way of propelling them:

    Here's one from the other side of the glass. Nothing has changed, in Noow Yoahk. The Cabbies haven't yet discovered turnsignals and rudelings still honk their horns. What's nice, though, is fareless riding. They didn't even have that, when I used to be a regular customer:

    All Volkswagen advertising by Doyle Dane Bernbach was very clever, in order to grab everyone so that prospective buyers would actually think about buying a VW.

    Good video. Great sound quality from the back of the bus. It sure can bring you back in time. To those who may be wondering, notice that one of the passengers pulled a cord above the glass. That signals the driver that they want to get off at the next scheduled stop. He notices that it was someone in the back and opened the rear door for them.

    Kind of makes you wonder, if the billboard agency planned that? That's totally hilarious!

    There might be unintended honesty, in that ad
