Vintage 1972 Audi 100LS Print Advertisement — Original Volkswagen Porsche Audi Division Original Ad
Approximately 8 x 11 inches.
This vintage 1972 Audi 100LS magazine advertisement captures a pivotal moment in German automotive history, when Audi was sold through Porsche-Audi dealerships as a division of Volkswagen. The original print ad features a striking blue Audi 100LS sedan on a dramatic desert salt flat, with a red VW Beetle trailing behind — a clever visual argument for shared German engineering excellence. The bold headline, 'When you buy an Audi you get what you get when you buy a Volkswagen,' reflects the era's no-nonsense DDB-influenced copywriting that made German car advertising legendary. A compelling collectible ad for fans of early Audi history and the Volkswagen group legacy.
