Friday, July 22, 1966: BMW? It’s no Mercedes
Posted on July 23rd, 2008 – 6:46 PMBy Ben Welter
This ad for the Walker-Ankeny auto dealership in Wayzata introduces Minneapolis Star readers to the BMW brand with an unusual pitch: Our car is better than a VW – but not quite as good as a Mercedes. Oddly, there’s no mention of the blurry swimsuit model included with every sale.

| Maybe the Big Three automakers could revive this pitch. |

Both the car and the model are pretty vintage by now.
Beemers way out do the mercedes in class and looks. my next car will be a BMW
Does the woman only have one arm? I hope that’s not an indication of the quality of the car…
