Great thread D, I simply love these old ads they are truly works of art. They sure don't make them like they used to.

What a amazing thread with some amazing pictures!

Awesome Post !! Every car had its own unique style back then.
1958 cars are still smokin' hott today !!

Great post. I love to see all this old stuff.

If you are into these kinds of ads, I have a collection of about 300 pages ripped out of old Nat Geo magazines that have mostly American car ads spanning many years. There are also some other interesting ads for lots of other things on the backsides or sharing the pages. If you want to own them, they can be yours for $100.
