Blip: Raw Banking Excitement
Blip: Raw Banking Excitement-July 2024

Image for article titled Blip: Raw Banking Excitement

I do love the raw, uncut ‘70s-ness of this metallic brown/gold ‘76 Beetle, with the late sporty steelies and the massive battering-ram 5 MPH bumpers, but I really have to question VW’s photographers here. A trip through the drive-through banking window? That’s what’s supposed to fire up the desire of the buyers? I mean, I appreciate the mundane realism, but couldn’t they have found a scenic overlook or something? A cool mural? Anything?

Everyone, please, remain calm. Relax. I just want you all to be aware that I have the situation totally under control, and I think it’s going to work out just fine, as long as your goal is to somehow make the now-defunct American Motors Corporation a much more competitive...
