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.

Goodyear Wide Boots GT

Playboy Oct. 1968

Ad text:
All-new high-performance model of Goodyear's famous Wide Boots tire.  Check these specs: New Wide Boots GT passenger tires are built low and wide like a racing tire.  Tested at 130 mph.  With 7 riding ribs, 6 traction grooves.  Two inches wider than Goodyear's previous high-performance tires, to stop, start and corner better.
They are reverse-molded like a racing tire, to put more tread on the road.  With low cord angle, for less lateral ruboff. Made with a body of Vytacord polyester cord - as strong as nylon, smooth-riding as rayon.
You'll know Wide Boots GT when you see 'em.  They've got that big white "Goodyear" on the side - like Goodyear racing tires.
