Right behind Beatty was Los Angeles Track club team mate Grelle, who finished in 8:36 after helping set the pace for the first mile.

So they felt that a Volkswagen Station Wagon oght to bring something new to the party, too. This one seats 8 people or a small elephant. And It's oply 9 inches longer than a Volkswagen Sedan. For elephants, play pens and pianos, there's a doorway almost 4 feet wide. And for long things like a tree, you get a hole in the roof. It not only lets the tree out but the sunshine in. You get the headroom of a bus. And 23 windows to look out of. And a sun-roof. (Moon-roof after dark.) And for $54.00 more, a walk-thru seat so you can easily swat the children. What does it sell for?
