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.

Harley Davidson

Playboy Oct. 1968

Ad text:  The new Rapido explodes into 1969! Here's a  125cc stick of dynamite that weighs in with the 80's and 90's, but accelerates past the 175's.  This year, Rapido comes in two models - a swinging street version and this hot new scrambler with high pipe, perforated heat shield, large sprocket and special off-the-road tire.  Either way, Rapido will turn out the crowd and turn in the winning performance.  Low end torque, wheelies and effortless top speed - $400 in the street version.  This is the one they'll be talking about all year long.  Get in on the conversation.  Your Harley-Davidson dealer has the cycle, low-cost financing and insurance. Harley-Davidson Motor Co., Milwaukee, Wis.
