Subject:      "Why Ford swears by Volkswagen"
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII


In today's Globe & Mail (pg B29), in an article about the Royal
Ontario Museum (ROM), there is a picture of a 1965 advertisement
with a family of 10 standing in front of their WV bus (small oval
windows on the side of the roof and a canvas 'sun roof').  The family
name is Ford, which accounts for the large print in the add:


        "Why Ford swears by Volkswagen"


The add goes on to tell why Mr. Ford (and his 10 kids) like and
drive the bus.


The advertisement. is on display in the Royal Ontario Museum.
Too bad the museum does not have a pristine bus to put along side
the advertisement.
