60's Mini ad get the VW treatment

Post by tintoptom »

Just saw this ad old ad... usually 'modern' for Mini advertising of the period I thought.

The style was pioneered by ad agency Doyle Dane Bernbach (DDB) for VW. I believe that they still have the VW account to this day.

That's not her arm on the window, it's the arm of her "victim" trying to escape. It's one of those Alfred Hitchcock type moments ;)
