Yes, I have it here. Molly found it. They got the years wrong on at least one, didn't they? I think (foggy memory here) that they showed the '58 as an oval window. Wrong, right?
You are right John, my 57' was an oval, my 58' was not. Changed signal light location and the size of the front glass also I think.

Yep! I have a '58 as well and it ain't no oval. The ad is a good indication of how out of touch the New Volkswagen company is with their own history. And worse, they don't even give a s*it. If they cared, they would know. Pathetic.
YEAH!!!!
I think I've found the biggest mistake of all of 'em.........I can't believe you guys didn't see the most obvious huge mistake they have with that entire ad.................. Sometimes I think I have an extra bit of perceptioin not offered to very many people through mother nature. C'mon,.................you see it too don't you?
OK,..........I'll point since hinting around ain't helpin'.
It's in POEPLE MAGAZINE
Geez,...............do I have to hold yer hands?

It's is not, it isn't ain't, and it's it's, not its, if you mean it is. If you don't, it's its. Then too, it's hers. It isn't her's. It isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise yours and theirs. -- Oxford University Press, Edpress News
It also doesn't show the '68s having the high-back style seats that were standard equipment in that year.
US models had high back seats in '68. However, the european models still had the low back seats.
But since VWoA published the ad, it should be correct for their product, rather than VW A.G.

They misspelled the title of the magazine on the cover? Crikeys! That's incredible.
That was a typo, not a misspelling...............LOL

Anyone else notice that there's only one Super Beetle in the whole ad?
Talk about pathetic. :)
Lighten up. Bottom line might be, that it propably is a -68 model,=20 a VW and a Beetle. Relax and enjoy the fweem. I think VWoA=20 has not done so many Beetles in it's history.=20
