15 Retro / Vintage Volkswagen Camper Van and Bus Adverts

Posted on September 3rd, 2009

As graphic designers, both Lu and I are particularly passionate about retro and vintage artwork. Team this up with our love for VW Camper Vans and you get some of our favourite adverts ever created!

I have been scouring the web to find some of the best examples of retro Volkswagen adverts and thought I would share with your my favourites.

These retro VW adverts are clean, simple and each one sends a clear message to their audience. The sense of continuity is spot on and their word play and copy really does set the standard (if you can put up with the sexism!).

There are a few excellent Flickr groups dedicated to vintage car adverts that are definitely worth checking out:

How about you… Have you spotted any cool retro / vintage Volkswagen adverts? Which one of the adverts above is your favourite?

I am trying to locate an old VW advert where the print is divided into a box for each day of the week and for each day, the campervan has a different use. Have you seen this and if so, how can I go about getting a copy? We have a 1979 Devon pop top, best money we ever spent and now well and truly have the bug….
