Hide the pickle commercial


T3'rs...

A type 3 in the Fugitive? I guess I wasn't paying attention! Was there a
pretty girl in the same shot? 

Have you all seen the VOA TV commercial for a Squareback (Variant) from
the early 60's. It features a *very* young Dustin Hofman (pre Graduate?
I don't know) climbing in and out of the doors and rear hatch looking
for the engine. Of course, not to be found!

I just happened to see this spot on one of those "before they were
stars" programs a few years ago re: Hofman. I wasn't quick enough to get
my VCR rolling. Piss. I have no idea what year it's from, but it
featured a square with a steel sunroof if memory serves. I think it was
a 1500 S (I don't think they called it a Square or a Variant).  Saw it
only once, went by pretty fast and I was jumping up and down trying to
get every on in the room to check it out!

I wonder, are such things archived at VW (for sure the ad agency, but
who knows who that was?) It's classic pre-"farfednugen" (sp?) VW humor.
Are there any other T3 Commercials? I was born in '64 so I don't recall
much! I *think* we had a TV? Any spots featuring a Notch from Europe?
