Old Magazine Ads

Post by BlackBart »

A friend lent me a stack of vintage sports car magazines from the 50s and 60s to pore through. Great fun. The period race reports are fantastic - the controversial Ford win in 1966 at Le Mans. The new rear engine Indy cars defeating the old roadsters. The new full line of 1955 Chryslers! All the MG Mitten chrome accessories and driving gloves for your MBG! Full road test of the new Vauxhall!

I snapped a few Volvo ads and related stuff........

It just occurred to me that 444 ad spells out "SECS APPEAL." Gawd... There's some advertising copy right there.
