Opener up and see what she can do.
Open the front where most compact sedans store an engine.
You'll find our Type 3 stores luggage.
Open the rear where most Volkswagens store an engine.
You'll find our Type 3 stores luggage.
Where's the engine?
Underneath the rear trunk. (For better traction.)
Where's the carburetor?
There isn't any carburetor.
Instead, our fuel-injected engine uses a little computer to measure
out only the gas you absolutely need. (About 1 gallon for every 31 miles.)
What you won't have any trouble finding are the front disc brakes.
They're up front as standard equipment on every singleVolkswagen
Type 3 we make.
And there's no problem finding the gears.
Since our stick shift is synchromesh, you can go through speeds 1,
2, 3, and 4 as easy as 1, 2, 3.
And with its 65 hp engine, the Type .3 will cruise all day at 84 mph.
But don't take our word for it,
Close 'er up and see what she can do for yourself.

Stray cat strays once too often
A year ago last summer the I.
Bachmann family of St, Clair
Shores, Mich., were camping in
the provincial park near Grand
Bend. Their cat, Mozart, who had
been a stray until they befriended
him, had been brought along to
enjoy the Canadian holiday.
Perhaps the 'foreign felines'
were a bit too appealing to
him...in any event Mozart
strayed away from the camp
sight and had not returned by the
time the family had to head back
home.
A few days ago, Henry Stokes
of Elmwood Street, found a
bedraggled cat sitting on his door
step. The latter was shown
typical G.B. hospitality and in-
vited in. It was then that his
rabies shot tag was noticed tied
around his neck on which was
noted an animal clinic in Detroit.
Mr. Stokes notified the clinic
and in very short he received a
telephone call from Mrs. Bach-
man telling him he was holding
her dearly loved, and long lost
Mozart.
Last Saturday the Bachmann
arrived to hold a glad reunion
with their straying pet before
packing him up and taking him
home again.
One wonders if MOzart has
learned his lesson from straying
around for over a year.

"It is always an easy task to
extend thanks and
congratulations to people who
have rendered outstanding
service to their community,"
Bruce Heath said in honoring Mr.
and Mrs. Blanchard. "It becomes
more difficult to choose one
couple from among so many who
rendered similar service to their
community and the Children's
Aid of Huron County, both this
past year and in years gone by.
When we examine this service.
