The VW Bug ad was easy. The wide, circular taillights incorporating amber turn signals, red lens, and back-up lights were first installed on all 1973 Beetle models. Before that, they had "horseshoe"-shaped taillights that only had the red lens and the back-up lights on the bottom.

Your picture looks like Red Skelton's Hobo Character.
Is that a joke? Cuz it obviously is that character...and I'm not even that familiar with that person or character.
