I am sure I have seen , or even somewhere have copies of ads depicting this.

Anyway, I was at the launch of the '67 1500 at Beachway Motors in Durban, purely by accident -- was driving past in my '55 beetle and saw all the commotion and ra-ra going on and stopped in to have a look.
--Was offered R35.00 trade in on my bug for one of those gleaming Super bugs------! By lady salesperson that was dressed like the story book character Heide
:D
You're right Bill, I've seen that ad as well.

Thirty-five bucks for a crusty old volksie with a back window you can't even see out of? You should have taken it! :mrgreen:
