Cricket and French Shriner

Playboy Nov. 1967

Bonus Friday - Cars and Shoes

Playboy Oct. 1968

   Once again I give you a nice half-page double ad from a vintage Playboy.  I've got a soft spot for Datsuns, so I am drawn particularly strongly to the classic Fairlady Roadster on the top there.  As usual, I like to point out the power figures on old sports cars like this: 96 horsepower from a 1.6 liter engine. (135 with the 2.0)  Synchros were new enough that they still advertised them.  Also note that "the works" included such options as a clock and defrosters.  For less than $3000 no less!

But let's not ignore this nice ad for luxurious shoes for pampering your feet!  Do I detect the scent of subtle sexism?  Women don't normally nuzzle my feet, so maybe I just need some French Shriners to get some of that foot-fawning action.
