History GRAPHIC DESIGN WHEN RACING WAS DANGEROUS AND SEX WAS SAFE!

Steffen, you are becoming too Americanized to remain in Deutschland. You need to come to the USA and be a full time hot rodder.

@Gman0046
I was in the USA '73, '75 & '77.
My dad studied at the GMI '59 - '61.
I am americanized enough ;-)
And when my car is ready I want to return with it to the place, where ist was build: Janesville, WI.
And then take a tour to visit the hot rodders I learned to know in the HAMB.

 

Great thread Steffen.

I have always been a big fan of Packard's Advertisements

 

Thanks! The first Ad you posted is a pleasure!

 

The cars and the graphics promoting them were changing at a lightening pace all through the era. From deuce to 'Stang was only 32 years.

 

Yes, The B-25 G and H Models did..

 

Yeah, I don't think we do that anymore. The K-25 building that would have supplied those "hot" pieces is gone now. The facility is now called Y-12 and there is a project called UPF here now. I could tell you about it, but then I'd have to kill you.

 

A few I like...

 

Engine art ...

 

These Vanity Fair campaigns were kool:

"She" didn't drive it...

Maybe "she" did...


Silence, a genuine quality within the Packard 12, for real

 

This was true, and boggles the mind, no?

Last one for tonight:

 

Yes, You are right. A great campaign without showing the car. I love the first one.

 

I've always liked Nash styling and also advertisements

 

What about the vintage travel ads?

 

The other four speed!
