Remember what the older Volkswagen Beetles used to look like? In the following commercial, aired in June of 1972, the VW Beetle is put to the test as a stuntman is hired to drive an orange VW beetle into the Long Island Sound.

The point of this action is to prove just how solid of a vehicle the VW Beetle is. It is only because of the quality of the VW Beetle that it is able to float above the water for an extended period of time without sinking (although it is not going to float forever!).

Check out the following video in order to see the classic VW Beetle in action. It’s interesting to note just how much has changed about this vehicle over the years!
