Week 1: EOC Volkswagon Lemon


Volkswagen were built in Germany. Germany as know for high quality and high priced cars. So it is known to most that’s it is also home of the Volkswagen. The idea of this car was created by Hitler. He wanted a way of transportation that everyone could afford, however he still was demanding they preform fast enough to get people where speed was no limit.

            Were 3,389 men working, doing the same thing every day. Inspecting a Volkswagen at every stage of it. They only made 3, 00 everyday, which meant they have more men working then production of cars. They inspect every inch of a car, from the breaks to the head of the motor. Their goal was to making this car very reliable, last a long time, and does not require a lot of maintenance. Which is where they got the saying for the ad “We pluck the lemon; you get the plums.”

            In 1960 Volkswagen spread the word about a car that everyone would be able to afford. Everyone was shocked about the ad. It stood out amongst all other ads at that time. It came an acrossed with power, prestige, and delivered by a calming voice. This ad that was in black and white, was not like any other. The ad seemed to promote happiness which seemed to rub off on its viewers. The ad was introduced distributed amongst the United States. The ad was then distributed to New York City to Doyle Dane Bernbach. It took a year for them to have it publish, and distributed around the U.S. Volkswagen to this day is still known as a reliable and affordable car.
