18　New　York　University　students　have　gotten　into　a　sun-roof　VW;　a　tight　fit.　The　Volkswagen　is　sensibly　sized　for　a　family.　Mother,　Father,　and　three　growing　kids　suit　it　nicely.

In　economy　runs,　the　VW　averages　close　to　50　miles　per　gallon.　You　wont　do　near　that;　after　all,　professional　drivers　have　canny　trade　secrets.　(Want　to　know　some?　Write　VW,　Box　#65,　Englewood,　N.　J.)　Use　regular　gas　and　forget　about　oil　between　changes.

The　VW　is　4　feet　shorter　than　a　conventional　car　(yet　has　as　much　leg　room　up　front).　While　other　cars　are　doomed　to　roam　the　crowded　streets,　you　park　in　tiny　places.

VW　spare　parts　are　inexpensive.　A　new　front　fender　(at　an　authorized　VW　dealer)　is　$21.75.*　A　cylinder　head,　$19.95.*The　nice　thing　is,　theyre　seldom　needed.

A　new　Volkswagen　sedan　is　$1,565.*　Other　than　a　radio　and　side　view　mirror,　that　includes　everything　youll　really　need.

In　1959　about　120,000　Americans　thought　small　and　bought　VWs.

Think　about　it.
