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.

A Mess of Ads

Playboy Oct. 1964
I guess there had to be source for nerdy "art" swords in the 60's too.

Porsche

Playboy Oct. 1964
Only $4200!  Lie still my beating heart! That works out to ~$32,000 in 2015 money.
That's SUPER cheap for a Porsche.  Different times, I guess.

Mediterranean Vacation of Hedonism

Playboy Nov. 1968
Click the picture and read that description.  Does it sound like a thinly-veiled nudist colony to anyone else?  The whole beads-as-money thing?  Way hippie.

Hathaway Shirts

Playboy Nov. 1968
Not sure I trust a one-eyed fencer to tell me what shirts to wear...

George Kaplan Greatcoat

Playboy Nov. 1968
There are words to describe a man who wears a large-print plaid fur greatcoat.  Bold.  Progressive.  Go-getter.  But then again, the words blind, tacky, and vomit also apply.
