Most recently spotted a vintage Beetle in Pink Floyd’s first promotional video called “Arnold Lane” . This was first released in 1967 and was written by Pink Floyds original frontman Syd Barrett. A nice little tune about a transvestite who steals women’s undergarments. Well I digress, we find our vintage Beetle about 31 seconds into the video with a couple of band members standing up through the soft top.
It looks to be Syd Barrett with a mannequin, used to represent “Arnold Layne” I imagine. No idea who the Volkswagen belonged to.
This was in the band’s early psychedelic years with Syd Barrett. This was long before they became the mega rock stars in the mid-70’s. Shine on you crazy diamond!
