The famous Italian designer suggested one change to the Volkswagen Beetle.
Just because the appearance of the Volks-wagen doesn't change from year to year, don't think we take it for granted. Some time ago, we called in a world-famous Italian body designer and we asked him what changes he would recommend in the design of the Volkswagen. He studied it and studied it. Then he said, ''Make the rear window larger.''
''That's all?'' ''That's all.'' We did, starting with the '58 VW. The Volkswagen is never changed to make it different. Only to make it better. Changes take place throughout the year. 19 functional improvements have been made in the 1960 VW so far; improvements in handling, in ride, in durability. But your eye
wouldn't detect these changes unless we pointed them out. A nice Volkswagen touch is that most of the new parts are inter-changeable; they can also be used on pre-vious-year VWs. We think the Volkswagen approach to automobile design makes sense. It might even turn out to be the most advanced styling idea of all.
