If you need a car to make food deliveries with, doesn‘t it make sense to use one that won’t eat up much profit?
It did to Mr. Chuck Lew, Chinese restaurateur, White Plains, New York.
His honorable Volkswagen has been delivering everything from wonton soup to leechee nets for close to two years.
All the while averaging 25 miles to a gallon of gas, using pints of oil instead of quarts, and no water or antifreeze.
Since it can‘t boil over or freeze under, the egg foo gets wherever it’s going while its still young.
Since we never change the way the car looks, spare parts are as readily available from his Volkswagen dealer as are spare ribs from his restaurant.
And since Mr. Lew charges a 50¢ delivery fee and uses a car that costs roughly one-fourth of that for the average trip, hed be crazy to trade it in.
Even for all the tea in China.
