VW Debuts Its “An American Love Story” Ad at 2024 Chicago Auto Show

VW showed the extended version of its upcoming third-quarter Super Bowl LVIII ad today at the 2024 Chicago Auto Show media preview.

The ad has Neil Diamond’s “I Am…I Said” as its music bed.  Its emotive visual journey through American fascination with various VW models is titled “An American Love Story.”  Johannes Leonardo teamed up with Lance Acord (creator of “The Force” VW spot) creating a nostalgic trip through 75 years of VW in the USA.

The tagline “We Shape Its Metal. You Shape Its Soul” resonates with generations of VW fans, as might the soon-to-arrive ID. Buzz electric van.

WHAT IS THE VWCA?

The VWCA (Volkswagen Club of America) is a not-for-profit hobby club for owners and enthusiasts of Volkswagen and Audi automobiles. Founded in 1955, the Club has followed the evolution of Volkswagen from the early air-cooled Beetle to the latest models to roll off the assembly line. We are not owned by, affiliated with or sponsored by Volkswagen AG or Volkswagen of America, the Importer. The Club is operated and managed solely by volunteer members who contribute their time and energy in pursuit of our motto, "to help Volkswagen and Audi owners enjoy their cars to the fullest." Read about the club's history.
