Volkswagen's funny and gutsy ads from the early to mid sixties were the best. I've collected about four years worth of them here.

Shot during an earthquake, apparently. Or maybe just too much coffee?

Rushed ugly looking 5mph bumpers. These things ruined the look of many a car. Also other equally annoying US regulations that ruined the looks of cars, such as headlights having to be sealed beams.
