weird commercial, doesn't make any sense. what's supposed to be happening when he re-opens the car door hatch and jumps on the hood? Oh some kind of ejector? It's just bizarre
I bought my first Beetle when I started college in 1977, it was 10 years old at the time. On road, off road, through snow and ice and mud, that little beast did it all. I lent it to a friend 20 years later, and she let her brother trash it. I still grieve for it.
In 1981, I had the privilege of being able to photograph the very first DeLorean to be shipped to America for the purpose of commercials ahead of them being shipped to any dealers. I just took the photos for myself because I love cars and I had never seen anything like this before [real, not just a model] --- I happened to work right next door to the studio in Hollywood which would make the first commercial.
