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.

Shelby Cobra GT350/500

Playboy Nov. 1967
     Now here's a car that people can get excited about.  Unlike the cute-and-tiny Fiat, the perennially unchanged Beetle, and the now-defunct AMX, the Shelby Cobra is a car that was lusted after when introduced, and has only grown in legendary status since.  When people think Mustang, this is their fantasy.
Ad text:
Convertible types, rejoice!
He's built  Shelby COBRA GT performance, handling, style and safety into a Mustang convertible complete with the best looking roll bar in the business.  If you don't flip your lid over this, you just don't flip (unless his Mustang-based Cobra GT 2+2 fastback gets to you).
Both styles are availiable in GT 350 or GT 500 versions.  The GT 350 boasts 302 cubic inches of Ford V-8 performance with an optionsal Cobra supercharger for added zip.  The GT 500 really delivers with your choice of two great V-8's... 428 cubic inches are standard.  A new 427 engine is the ultimate performance option.
All the Le Mans-winning handling and safety features are better than ever for 1968.  They're wrapped up in a fresh new luxury package.  And the Mustang base means an exciting price.
Any questions? Your Shelby Cobra dealer has some great answers!
