| Playboy Nov. 1968 |
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.

Fiat 850 Spider
| Playboy Nov. 1968 |
Although technically two different cars, this ad is almost identical to the ad for the 124 Spider. Though the 850 is about $1000 cheaper. Of course, the engine was only a hair under 850cc (a little over half the size of the 124's engine, and smaller than many motorcycles), so you're not getting quite as much car.

MG Sprite
| Playboy Sept. 1966 |
Back in the day they actually sold MGs in America. Check out that 30 mpg. Not bad, even for today. That's a super cheap car, too. The quoted $2000 works out to $14,490 in today's dollars. You won't fine any car at that price except maybe a base-model Yaris anymore. Bring back the old days!

Eagle's Shirts, School Colors
| Playboy Sept. 1966 |
I thought this was pretty neat. Listing a whole bunch of schools in whose colors Eagles makes shirts looks like a good way to attract young buyers. I'm not sure how this works considering that nowadays most schools licence their colors and you have to get a deal to sell things like that. But maybe it's OK since they don't actually have the school's logo?
