The 1974 Volkswagen Dasher. It's over four grand, but you get what you pay for.

SEATS FIVE COMFORTABLY Saving money by riding in a car pool? Dasher gives you Big Car com-forts. Like wide doors that are easy to get through. And plenty of stretch-out room, so now you can be comfortable and still ride economically. 17.3 CUBIC FOOT TRUNK Even more Big Car extras. There's enough room in Dasher's trunk for two large suitcases, a suitbag, a couple of small suitcases, a briefcase, and plenty of small items that you couldn't
cram into your bags. HOLDS THE ROAD Along with economy, you also want a car that's easy to handle. We've got it. Dasher is specially designed and engineered to give you maximum con-trol while driving. Besides having front wheel drive and rack and pinion steer-ing.

Dasher's 26.9 square feet of window space gives you excellent visibility.) BIG CAR LUXURY We've mentioned it all before, but we'll say it again. With luxurious seats and built-in headrests. Plenty of leg room. Plus an incredibly smooth ride with superior handling. The only way you'll know that Dasher isn't a Big Luxury Car is when you look at its

The car that saves money on gas, upkeep, and all the problems of today. While still giving you the roominess and power that will be offered in the car of the future.
