I was recently given a big stack of Canadian magazines from the 50s-70s. I love the old ads in them.

I remember in elementary I use to browse through all the old national geographics from the 70s just to look at the car ads

Great old ads, lol at everyone in the green Ford, they really need to cheer up, no wait, everyone was like that back then

i love the Hillman ads... no one gave a shit about economy in 1959... gas was five cents a gallon!

it often saddens me that there were never be an era like that of 1955 to 1973 for cars. I mean, cars today are great from a performance, comfort and efficiency standpoint, but they are sadly lacking in soul.

There was another site (Bills Retro World) someone on a Fiero forum showed me with TONS of 50s-era ads for everything from cars to turntables, but unfortunately it's gone offline.

Here's some 1984 Fiero ads I have scanned. I have another one to get to eventually.

i have to laugh at their "Logic Of Design" bullshit... the front end was out of a Chevette. The back end was swiped from a Citation/Celebrity... the engines were corporate workhorses available in just about everything. The seats were from a Fierbird and it had a teeny tiny ass gas tank.

But, it was kind of a neat car.

One of my favorite ads:

That direct connection ad makes me happy.

In the pants.

I love turbo FWD Mopars.

there are moments when I really think that Ralph Nader should've been killed with something heavy
there was nothing wrong with the Corvair. He was just a punk ass bitch trying to make a name. And then, GM and their wonderful handling of his so-called investigation.

Agreed, the man was a tree hugging cunt.

Well, while I do agree with Ralph Nader with regards to his idea on auto safety, I think he used the Corvair as the worst example of a "bad car" There were way worse car models out there he could of used, but decided on that one since as I understand it was pretty easy to get copies of paperwork of notes on the design.

I'd have to say I've got some of the oldest gm ads.

Pics soon.

I fuckin' love my mid engined Corvair, it handles like a go kart, slides like a rally car, has more thrust than a muscle car, jumps like a gazelle, lands like a sack full of hammers!!!!

This thing scares the shit out of me even with out turning on the nitrous.
