Mr. Nordhoff's egg - Zwischengas wishes you a happy Easter!
You all know what was under this picture. Don't you? Together with the American lemon that missed the boat, the Beetle on the egg is one of Volkswagen's most famous advertisements from the sixties. However, the Wolfsburgers were quite full of it when they claimed that the shape of the Beetle could not be improved.
Fritz B. Busch thought so too. So he grabbed a dozen eggs and painted them with other cars whose rear view also formed a uniform hump. However, the plan to send them to VW General Director Heinrich Nordhoff for Easter came to nothing. Because Gerd and Evelyn came to visit, impressively demonstrating that the shape of the Beetle could indeed not be improved.
We would therefore like to present the result of this cheerful day at the Busch home as a literary Easter egg: A short gloss on why it is right that chickens still lay eggs instead of cuboids, but why the automotive industry has long since abandoned the streamlined egg shape for good reasons.
