The　Volkswagen　isnt　the　kind　of　a　car　you　trade　in　after　a　year　or　two.

Its　designed　and　built　for　keeps.

The　piston　speed　in　a　Volkswagen　is　slower　than　it　is　in　many　other　cars.　That　means　less　wear.　Engine　friction　and　stress　are　so　low　that　the　VWs　cruising　speed　is　the　same　as　top　speed!

Continuity　in　making　the　same　basic　model　year　after　year　has　led　to　Volkswagens　quality　of　assembly　——the　kind　that　a　$5,000　car　would　be　proud　of,　to　say　nothing　of　a　car　that　sells　for　$1,585.

Just　to　give　you　an　idea:　A　Volkswagen　is　so　airtight,　its　a　good　practice　to　open　the　window　before　you　slam　the　door.　Even　after　several　years.

So.　If　you　own　a　‘61　or　’62　VW　that　you‘ve　taken　good　care　of,　why　would　you　want　to　trade　it　in　for　a　’66　——　which　looks　just　like　it?

You　wouldnt.

You‘d　keep　it,　and　have　the　pleasure　of　seeing　99,999　on　you　VW’s　Odometer　turn　to　00000.
