What you'll find here:

This blog is a collection of vintage advertisements, posted Monday through Friday. All ads are scans from magazines in my collection (or those of my friends), so I claim no copyright over them. Remember, these ads are from bygone eras: don't get upset if you see something you don't like, nor excited if you see something you do.

If you particularly like an ad and want a hi-res copy for yourself, email or message me and I can send you one.

1964 Cadillac

National Geographic 1964
Although the term "six-fo" usually refers to a lowrider '64 Impala, here's a six-fo I'd prefer.  Cadillac's offering in 1964 had those tail-fins we all know and love, and was "tucking rim" well before the Volkswagen and Honda scenesters were.

Though I want to know how he managed to park his car in the middle of the street at 4:40 p.m. (see the clock in the background). Where's the New York traffic at?
Ad text:  The first time you cross town in a 1964 Cadillac... you're going to be amazed at the wonderful way it moves and handles.  For this great new car introduces a standard of performance and action that is new even to Cadillac.  It comes from an advances high-performance engine -- the most powerful in Cadillac history.  It comes from an improved Hydra-Matic Drive -- and on some models, a new Turbo Hydra-Matic -- that provides incredible response and agility.  And it comes from a host of other Cadillac advancements -- refined Cadillac power steering, an exclusive true-center drive line, and motordom's only real triple braking system.  It's more tempting than ever -- and just wait till you drive it!  Your dealer will arrange it all.
