classic vw beetle commercial
www.painteddesigns.nl Again a great vw beetle commercial telling us about de greatest car ever built! This 1974 beetle commercial is made with the same background music as the american commercial nr. 26. This is a 1974 VW mexican TV commercial, first aired on November 1973 (it starts wishing a happy new year!), featuring the new 1600cc. engine, new wider seats, a smaller stickshift, larger tailights and turn signals, this add was only made for Mexico and not Southamerica. Domestic mexican beetles were not exported at that time. changes on mexican Beetles were one year behind or two of those of the German beetles back then. From theDVD 'Legend on wheels'. Wanna have this DVD packed with 2 hours of high quality digitally remastered old vw commercials? The DVD really brings you back to the '60s and '70s. Send an email to beetlejuice150@hotmail.com

Happy 1974!!!
For my part, I thank you for uploaded this video because I’m almost ready to buy a VW but a year later (1975), and wanted to know exactly how this model was originally.
Best Auto World, the best century and above all, the most beloved of Mexico.
Saludos desde Cuautitlan Izcalli, Estado de Mexico, and…

I have a 1992 Bug and this one has a catalytic converter as well as electronic fuel injection, the front turn signals are in the front bumper, the rims are made out of steel and it has the 1600i badge on the engine door.

US and Euro configs can be very different. In England for example you could still get a 1200 and a swing axle long after the US market stopped selling them, and a 1970s Standard beetle “like my 74″ with a 1600 and an IRS was unheard of, that was purely Super Beetle stuff. Not available in the old school torsion bar front end models. Years ago I got an English Haynes manual for Beetle and it has configs that would baffle an American bug fan.

The Mexican Beetles did get the rear window height increase but not until the late 80′s.

Thanks for translating. Very useful!!

and if I remember correctly, the Euro and US Beetles got the lid release inside the glovebox in ’68.
Another odd thing about the Mexican Beetles is they never got the final rear window increase in height that Euro/US got in ’72.

actually the decklid is a 1970 only part and the steering wheel is 72-up and the seats are 67-downwith 73-up tailights and 70-up front turnsignal lights.its a mash up of different year parts to make a complete car….

Now that´s one of those typical responses when you just don´t know what to say. And yes, you are just another stupid gringo! Did you expected to find a Mc Donald’s burguer or maybe some KFC? retarded.
