Tom Skeritt And His Connection To Volkswagen

A video that was released on VHS tape about Volkswagen from 1993 that was hosted by actor, Volkswagen enthusiast; Detroit native Tom Skerritt. Here, Gloria Steinim is featured regarding her endorsement of Volkswagen in the 1970’s, and regarding the roles that women had in automobile purchases as of the 1950’s and 1960’s-being that the man of the house made the purchase and women only chose the vehicle’s exterior color and the vehicle’s interior upholstery color. And the advertisements that Volkswagen had ran in Ms. Magazine during the 1970’s, with the headlines “We Wouldn’t Run Another Ad That We Would Run In Ms.”, and “I Bought A Wagon Out Of Wedlock”.
I’ll talk briefly about Gloria Steinem and her legendary activism in the women’s movement in another post.
