Photo is a scan of the last ad I had of this version without slits from being in a 3 month hard back cover of magazines.
Note:Sellers who charge less than $2.75 S & H are most likely not covering item with 2 chipboards to reduce chance of damage.
ITEM:Original 1966 Two Page Volkswagen Beetle, Fastback, and Squareback vintage magazine print ad. Condition is used. Ships via USPS first class mail.
DESCRIPTION: 1966Volkswagen ad featuring the Beetle, Fastback, and Squareback consists of two full pages, was printed in black and white, each page 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 has been some normal aging discoloration where the original white open space now has an off-white tint, which darkens to light beige nearer the edges. If you zoom over the photos to enlarge them, you should be able to better ascertain the extent of aging discoloration. However, please be advised that my scanner automatically lightens the photo and I have no idea how to stop it from doing that. Actual ad is a full shade darker than it appears in the photo. Other than the normal aging discoloration consistent with age of ad and quality of paper, ad is in excellent condition with one exception: This ad came from a hard back cover containing 3 months of magazines and the binding material has caused 4 slits on each page approximately 3/16th in length. If you trim the left side of one page and the right side of the other page, you will be able to eliminate the 4 slits on each page and restore a straight edge with no slits showing. Other than normal aging discoloration and the 4 slits at the edge of each page (not shown in photo), ad contains no bends, folds, wrinkles, markings, tears, stains, or water damage. Price has been set to reflect the slits on each page and the aging discoloration. VW WB

I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE IF YOU SEE AN "ACCEPT OFFERS" ON ANY OF MY LISTINGS, BUT THAT IS 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.
