DID YOU KNOW?

A 1959 advertisement for the Volkswagen Beetle with the slogan 'Think Small' is often considered one of the best car advertisements of the 20th century. In contrast to the prior glamorous advertising of beauty and power in the sector, it emphasised utility and made a virtue of the car's simple design.
