Someone in 1948 (67 years ago...) cut and pasted all these large car ads from magazines into a large scrapbook. It must have taken quite a bit of time and effort. These ads are large format (each sheet is larger than a letter size) and some are foldouts about 11X17 in size. I wonder who it was... It was just 3 years after the end of WWII and the optimism and the view to the bright future is nearly palpable in these ads... For some, it was the beginning of an exciting period for the auto industry that lasted till the end of the 60's... (20 or so good years...)
Below are some sample pages from the book (not all of them)... |
