1- EMPI Design...  |    2- EMPI Cool adverts...  |   

EMPI ads are without a doubt the coolest adverts ever made for our VW... Today, these ads are becoming hard to find. General feeling is very 70's, no... Simply love them... And don't forget that some pictures are thumbnails, you can click on them for larger ones... Enjoy!!!

EMPI ADS from U.S. RODDING MAGAZINES...


In the good old days (understand years from 65 to 75), adverts for VW accessories & others goodies were usuals in all american magazines like Hot Rod, Popular Hot Rodding, Car craft...

That's not a surprise as that was the first years of 1/4 mile racing VWs... Don't forget the EMPI Inch Pincher impact on the streets too...

For example, the little ad devoted to the EMPI extractor exhaust systems was published in April '71 issue of Popular Hot Rodding.

The mega cool EMPI 5 rims ad appeared in January '68 issue of Sport Car Graphic. A real cool cover issue...

Another great ad showing an Inch Pincher drawing (look bottom of this page) was found in an old issue of Car Craft. Note the legend "The world's fastest Volkswagen uses a 49.95$ exhaust system".

EMPI ADS from U.S. VW MAGAZINES...


Without surprise, old EMPI ads were more common in VW magazines.

Have a look at the 2 mega cool EMPI centerfolds which were printed in an old Foreign Car Guide from December 1965. Christmas 1965 was surely a great one as far as VW accessories were concerned. I love these rare pictures!!! So, enjoy them as much as I do...

Of course, EMPI ads used to appear in Hot VWs magazine. Take the EMPI POWER Comin' Thru for example. This ad appeared in June '71 issue. The ad for the '70 catalog appeared in several issues like the July '70 one.
