    There were plenty of people in the US in 1949 who would have been familiar with the shape of the Beetle after having seen it first hand while "touring" Europe during the 1940's.

I’ve built trikes , dune buggies, even a parade float with the roof of a big on top of a bus. I had a convertible bug that was beating porches . This brought a tear to my eye.

      You take the van and cut out the roof from behind the front seats to about 3 feet from the rear and the sides of the van down below the windows in the same line as the roof cut. Then cot a bug and cut the top off leaving rear window and windshield and a posts . Cut b posts out and set bug top on van . Then weld it all up. And cover all edges. It allows adults to stand up straight . And always add your own little twist to it. Have fun!

    In 1968 my dad bought a Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. It was a hunter green and he drove it around all summer with my mom. They must’ve been having fun because later I was born in September. Now Carmen gear only has two seats so my parents put me in between the two seats on the way home from the hospital. It was pretty crazy and 1968.

    This is a brilliant commercial. The dichotomies of America then and now are rolled up into it - speaking to multiple generations at the same time. Neil Diamond's song is a poignant choice. I Am, I Said is a soul-searcher. It's about feeling a gnawing emptiness and isolation, but rising through it by digging deep inside and knowing you are here, and you have things to do in this life. This strikes a chord with where America is spiritually (in a broad sense) in 2024.
