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.

1964 Cadillac

National Geographic 1964
Although the term "six-fo" usually refers to a lowrider '64 Impala, here's a six-fo I'd prefer.  Cadillac's offering in 1964 had those tail-fins we all know and love, and was "tucking rim" well before the Volkswagen and Honda scenesters were.

Though I want to know how he managed to park his car in the middle of the street at 4:40 p.m. (see the clock in the background). Where's the New York traffic at?

Starfire

National Geographic 1964

It's been brought to my attention that some people are having problems reading the smaller text on some of these ads.  Blogger doesn't give me much control of the zooming capabilities of my pictures, so when an ad features small text, I'll try and include a typed-out version in my post.
