What are you staring at? (1962)

   Breaking traditions is a kind of a thing with us.
   We once introduced a car that looked like a beetle.
   So we felt that a Volkswagen Station Wagon ought to bring something new to the party, too.
   This one seats 8 people or a small elephant. And it's only 9 inches longer than a Volkswagen Sedan.
   For elephants, playpens and pianos, there's a doorway almost 4 feet wide.
   And for long things like a tree, you get a hole in the roof. It not only lets the tree out but the sunshine in.
   You get the headroom of a bus. And 23 windows to look out of. And a sun-roof. (Moon-roof after dark.)
   And a walk-through seat so that you can easily swat the children. (This joy is optional.)
   And so we come to the price.
   Ready? $2655.*
   Maybe you've never seen a station wagon before, at that.
