Cool stuff for your favorite VW enthusiast!

A VW commercial was featured on TV Land's The Greatest Commercials of All Time.  

 

The commercial for the Turbo New Beetle is pretty cool. Be sure to check out their web site www.turbonium.com.

VW has a list of current commercials on their site at www.vw.com/commercials.

AdCritic has tons of VW commercials on their site at www.adcritic.com (unfortunately they now require a paid subscription).

"Have you ever wondered how the man that drives the snowplow gets to the snowplow?

Karmann Ghia retromercial - anybody know what year?

 

From Anthony (thanks Anthony):
It's a 68 or 69, based on the round reflector on the rear fender.  If there's an interior shot in the commercial, check out the headrests. If they're part of the seatback, it's a 68.  If they're sitting on two stalks, it's a 69!
 


QuickTime Movie

Herbie, the Love Bug
There was actually an hour TV series based on the Disney movies. It aired March 17, 1982 - April 14, 1982 on CBS. I'm not sure if exists on video, anybody have more info?

I remember Wheelie, he was kewl...and so sweet!

There is apparently a new Cartoon Network channel that shows Classic Cartoons 24 hours a day. It may or may not be available in your area. Check it out here.
