Rad old car ads

By Rain Noe - November 13, 2007

in Object Culture

A library worker with the handle Kustom Kitten scanned in a bunch of old car ads from Life Magazines of yore ('40s and '50s by the looks of it). Best of all, on some of the ads you can actually read the copy, which is filled with gems like

For Mrs: "Test Drive" those "King Size" Brakes! You'll find they stop 35% easier! "Test Drive" that Finger-Tip Steering, too! You can practically thread a needle with this great new car, it's so easy to handle!

Beats the heck out of "Built tough."
