ITEM:  Original 1970 Volkswagen Beetle  vintage magazine print ad.    Condition is used. Ships via USPS first class mail.

DESCRIPTION:  1970 Volkswagen Beetle ad was printed in black and white, measures approximately 8.25" X 11", and was printed on the standard general interest or automotive quality paper utilized, not the premium paper utilized by National Geographic.  Because of the lower quality paper, there is some heavy aging discoloration where the original bright white on the bottom 2 1/2 inches is now more of a light beige, which darkens nearer the edges.   If you scan over the photo to enlarge it, you will better be able to see the extent of the actual aging discoloration.  You will also see that the bottom left hand and top right hand corners have very small tears at that extreme corner.  Other than tiny tears and noticeable aging discoloration that is consistent with age of ad, quality of paper, and not being stored in a climate controlled environment, ad is in excellent condition and contains no bends, folds, wrinkles, markings, tears, stains, or water damage.  Price is priced $2 lower due to heavy aging discoloration and tears at the two corners.   File:  VW WB

INVENTORY:  I have 1,000's  of car and truck ads dating back to 1903 and brochures dating to the late 1960's for sale, ask me for your favorite. Over 90% of brochures from 1965 to 1985 were collected by me from the Detroit Auto Show and then stored away until my retirement a few years ago, when I began offering them for sale.  Collecting as many different car or truck ads and brochures is my hobby, and selling my duplicates allows me to buy more magazines looking for unique ads.  I want you to be as happy with your selection as I am with my collection. Your brochure will be shipped within a plastic cover and covered by two chip boards to ensure no damage during shipping.  If you are not happy with your purchase for any reason, your money will be cheerfully refunded upon return of this item in the same condition as shipped.

BEST OFFERS ARE NOT CONSIDERED:  I PRICE MY ITEMS FAIRLY BASED ON EACH ITEM'S AGE AND CONDITION AND THEREFORE, I CLEARLY MARK ALL OF MY ITEMS AS "DO NOT ACCEPT OFFERS".   HOWEVER, EBAY WILL OFTEN  INSERT "ACCEPT OFFERS" INTO MY LISTING WITHOUT MY APPROVAL.  I BOTH PHONED AND EMAILED EBAY TO ASK THAT THEY DO NOT CHANGE MY LISTING TO "ACCEPT OFFERS" WITHOUT SUCCESS.  I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE IF YOU SEE AN "ACCEPT OFFERS" ON ANY OF MY LISTINGS, BUT THAT IS EBAY IGNORING MY REQUEST AND ME NOT HAVING THE EXTRA 24 HOURS MONTHLY IT WOULD TAKE TO CHANGE ALL OF MY ITEMS BACK TO THEIR ORIGINAL LISTING VERBIAGE.
