You need to play close attention to the front and back of the [Volkswagen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volkswagen-id-3-ev) to notice that the front is the latest edition of the car and the back belongs to the original model from the 1930’s.

The ad was created by [advertising agency Y & R Bangkok](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lexus-and-universal-pictures), Thailand with creative direction by Trong Tantivejakul and Nares Limapornvanich.
