It's sad: once in a while you'll run across an article or book chapter collecting these classic Doyle-Dane-Bernbach ads for the Volkswagen, but it's only in the past couple of years that I've started to see the grotesquely sexist ones (like this one) reprinted.

(It's a double dose of sexism, did you notice? Your wife is running into things, but it's you (male) controlling the money.)
