Alembic...Join the family!

I remember those VW ads where they compared the bug to the Roman arch! Boy I must be getting old!

I must be getting older; I don't recall that one.
But I do recall the one where drove a bug into water - and it floated (though they never said for how long....)

As Woody Allen showed us in Sleeper, at least for 100 years!

I also don't remember the VW "Lemon" ad, but I can prove my elder status by admitting I remember them being advertised at $1999.  Boy, have times changed!

And gas was $.35 - $.65/gallon

Latest issue of the AARP magazine notes that in 1958, gasoline averaged 38¢/gallon - which, adjusted to 2023 dollars, would be $3.28
And that new 1958 Les Paul for $265 equated to $2822.29 (still not a bad investment, going for north of $300K now; about 10X inflation.....)
But Bill's $1999 Bug would only be $21,289.63 - a steal!

Peter (who clearly recalls stamping 5 lb bags of sugar for 65¢ in his teen days as a stock clerk/bagboy)

If you want to see cars that float just watch some videos of the tsunami that hit japan.

Betcha can't have just one!

Alembic, everything today came after that.
