If you feel neglected, just think of Whistler's father! SEEMS THAT EVERYBODY WANTS TO DRIVE OUR STATION WAGON Why? Is it the three 5 -foot seats? They hold the regular driver plus 9 junior drivers. Or 7 more adults. Is it because the back seats are removable? Or be- cause the side doors open 4 feet wide? Slide a seat out and you can slide in a made-up crib. Take both seats out and you've got room for a full- length bed. It is because the Volkswagen, with more usable space than the biggest conventional wagon, is a good 4 feet shorter. It fits neatly into parking spots the big boys have to pass by. Is it the legendary Volkswagen mileage? The rear - engine traction? Is it the sunroof? It's also a moonroof. A rainroof, too. Wthen the sky looks threatening, just slide the roof shut. It's windproof, Waterproof. Is it the 23 windows to look out of? Your guess is as good as ours. Why not come in and see why. For yourself.
