Kong -- King Of Cars?


Above is a ludicrous image from somewhere, of a statue of the mighty Kong (looks like Son of Kong really) holding up the awesome VW Bug.


Here is the famous commercial featuring Kong for Volkswagen. The stop-motion work on this mini-classic was done by the late Dave Allen, who worked on lots of stuff before his untimely death, but is probably most famous for Equinox.


Here is a wacky commercial featuring Kong and Son. It's kind of funny actually. The expressions are wonderful.


And here is a model featuring the mighty King Kong as a drag racer, in case you were wondering how that might look.

What does the mighty King Kong think of all these attempts to merchandise his awe-inspiring image?


Yikes!
