Do you earn too much to afford one ?:

• published: 1966
  
• TEXT:
  For many people the Volkswagen would
  be an ideal car. Except for one thing.
  It doesn't cost enough.
  They're afraid nobody will know they
  have any money, if it doesn't show in their
  car. In other words, they buy their car for
  other people. Not themselves.
  Then there are those who earn enough
  to buy a much better car than a VW.
  But they don't. Because they can't find one.
  For them the best car is one that's simply
  comfortable and economical. One they
  don't have to worry about. That doesn't
  make many stops for gas. And rarely
  needs repairs.
  A car where the rare repairs don't cost a
  lot. A car where the car doesn't cost a lot.
  They feel they can afford to save money
  with a Volkswagen.
  Now next time you see somebody driv-
  ing a VW don't feel sorry for him.
  Who knows? Someday
  the bank might use his money to give
  you a new car loan.
