1978 VOLKSWAGEN VW RABBIT DIESEL Lot of (2) Genuine Ads ~ FREE SHIPPING!
1978 Volkswagen VW Rabbit Diesel Sedan lot of (2) original vintage advertisements.
DESCRIPTION:
U.S. NAMES RABBIT DIESEL #1 IN ECONOMY.
We always knew we made terrific economy cars.
Now it's official. Because according to the figures published in the official 1978 EPA Mileage Guide, a Rabbit Diesel gets the highest mileage of any car in America: an incredible 53 MPG on the highway, and 40 MPG in the city.
(Of course, these estimates may vary depending on how and where you drive, optional equipment and your car's condition. That's also official.)
We could go on and on about all the innovations we’ve built into our newest Rabbit.
Like the fact that it goes on and on (amazingly!) without ever needing a major tune-up. (There are simply no spark plugs, points, condensers, or carburetors to tune.)
Our mechanical wizardry doesn’t stop with the engine either. There's front-wheel drive for better tracking.
There’s more room for people than 37 other cars you could buy.
And a Rabbit Diesel goes like a bat out of you-know-where. In fact, it set 31 world records for diesels on a track in Miramas, France.
Come test it for yourself.
For years we’ve built cars that use very little gas.
Now we’ve built one that doesn't use any at all.
VOLKSWAGEN DOES IT AGAIN
THE LEAST REMARKABLE THING ABOUT THE NEW RABBIT DIESEL IS 53 MPG H
’
WAY, 40 MPG CITY.
You’ve read it right, friends.
According to the EPA estimates the new Rabbit Diesel gets the highest mileage of any car in America. (Of course, mileage may vary depending on how and where you drive, optional equipment, and your car’s condition.)
But if by chance you’re looking for more, read on. Because the most astonishing news about our economy car isn’t the economy. It's the car. Remarkable thing #1: eye-opening performance.
Are you the kind of person who gets a thrill out of zipping from 0 to 50 in a mere 11.5 seconds? Well, thanks to an efficient use of aerodynamics and weight, you’ll be ecstatic in a Rabbit. In fact, ifs already set 31 world records for Diesels.
You’ll also be thrilled to know the 1978 Rabbit comes with such things as an "independent stabilizer rear axle” which manages to combine the stable tracking of a rigid rear axle with the smoothness of an independent suspension.
"Negative steering roll radius” which helps maintain directional stability even in the event of a front-tire blowout.
"Front-wheel drive” for better tracking, especially in high
winds and rotten weather. Front disc brakes. Radial tires. Rack-and-pinion steering. Breathless cornering.
Do we still sound like an economy car? If so, you’re ready for remarkable thing # 2:
More room for people than 40 other cars.
A Volkswagen Rabbit looks smaller than other cars, right?
But inside, our engineers cleverly devoted 87% of the interior to functional room.
Open the trunk and (believe it or not!) there’s more luggage space than a Cadillac Seville.
Fold down the rear seat and (amazingly!) there’s almost as much luggage space as some station wagons.
Then open the door. Your eyes don’t deceive you. There’s more people space than Chevy Monza, Datsun 510, Pinto Wagon and 37 other cars you could buy.
But wait. While you have the door open, notice remarkable thing # 3; a stroke of sheer genius:
The seat belts actually put themselves on.
No fumbling about on the floor trying to find them.
No mumbling about what a pain normal seat belts are.
It’s like magic.
Just close the door and they’re on.
This type of passive restraint system will be mandatory in 1984. And only a Model ”L” Rabbit has it now.
Another stroke of genius: a cooling fan with brains.
When its freezing out and a fan isn’t needed, our cooling fan knows enough to shut itself off. (That saves you noise and energy.)
When it’s boiling out, our cooling fan has the good sense to keep running even after the car is shut off. (Because that's an important time to protect your engine against overheating.) Then it automatically stops when the engine is cooled off.
Last but least, a word about money.
Happily, all Rabbits are frugal when it comes to money.
The problem is, which Rabbit should you buy?
A gas-powered Rabbit — which is a wonderful car to begin with.
Or a Rabbit Diesel - which costs abou t0 more than our ”C” and T gas models.
What do you get for 0?
For one thing, diesel fuel costs about 10¢ a gallon less than gasoline:
For another, a diesel engine never needs a major tune-up. Because there are no sparkplugs, points, condensers, or carburetors to tune.
All this, and great mileage, too.
A tough choice, to be sure.
But then, a Rabbit is the only car in its class that gives you a choice at all.
What could be more remarkable than that?
