Subject: floating a VW
I recall back in the seventies an issue of MAD magazine with a picture of a
VW floating in a pond with the caption:"If Ted Kennedy had been driving a
Volkswagon, he'd be president today!">>>
I was going to mention this when Allen said VW had an ad with a floating
Beetle. It was actually parody in a 1974 National Lampoon compilation that is
quite a rarity. It seems Teddy's crack legal representation quickly got the
book recalled and destroyed. I only saw it once at the time - a classmate in
my high school chemistry class gave a copy to our teacher who was a Beetle
driver and it hung on the chem lab bulletin board for a while. Wish I had a
copy now.
