Vintage Supplier/Misc Advertisements

[Steve Shauger]

I have been adding advertisement threads to forums, Ford, Mopar, Olds, Motion. The hope is our members will post vintage advertisements. I am making the thread a sticky so it stays at the top and easy to find. Some of the ads from back in the day are quite hilarious, and provocative!

Lynn is one of our esteemed members and most likely the only on the site that owns a Buick /Opel. I was going to post this ad in the Buick forum but felt this may be a better location. Just teasing Lynn a bit :naughty:

[jwbavalon]

Hi, I have a silver '71 Opel GT so thanks for the post.

Merry Christmas

[Xplantdad]

Opel GT's are cool! :headbang:

[mssl72]

I've always liked 'em!

[Too Many Projects]

All I see is a high performance blonde... or is that high maintenance ..:smile:

Those GT's are cool cars, but they all turned to dust within 10 years around here from the salt.

[Steve Shauger]

Lee Stewart, I moved your Camaro advertisement pics to the Chevrolet Forum. The goal is to place any new advertisement in the appropriate forum. Sorry for the confusion. I placed the Opel in the Lounge forum because although kool it doesn't fit in a specific make forum. Also, my intent was to notify members of the new feature.

Some of you may know the answer to this......when did Hurst change from the big block letters to the smaller version we still see today? This dual frame ad made me think that it may have been when the round bar phased out, and they combined the designs of the flat bar with the smaller letters????

this has been my favorite ad ever. i tore this out of a magazine back in 1970 and put on my wall by my bed. i used to lay in bed and dream of getting one of these when i turned 16. i have had it hanging on a wall ever since.

Mark had a major influence on my passion for Z28 Camaros and the Trans Am racing program. He was truly a great champion and helped put Penske racing on the map!

My guess would be more maintenance than performance.

You got that right. I was very lucky to find a local car that was removed from service after only 3 years on the road and stored indoors since.

The only rust I had to repair was on the belly pan, right under where the battery used to reside.

[Lynn]

And I am digging all the vintage ads Steve.

does anyone know of any of these surviving? back in the late 70's there was a guy here in town that had a motion v8 vega. no idea if it was really a motion car but i road in it and it would carry the front wheels and bounce them in second. crazy fast, but i wasnt into vegas at all.

[60sStuff]

The car in this photo says 1966 GTO because of the stainless rocker moldings and the stainless wheel opening molding.

I have no idea what that wheel is?

I just picked up an inexpensive December ‘67 Hot Rod at an antique store nearby. Besides being a big issue, was pleasantly surprised to find the Christmas advertising insert from STP intact with the free decals and coupon for STP fashionwear:).

I had a pair of those Thrush mufflers on my '64 Galaxie 500. Put them on in the summer and by the next spring, they were rusting out from the salt, driving it everyday all winter. Sounded nice, but didn't last.

That ‘66 Corvette in the Gulf ad looks like a 390 hp rather than the 425hp stated. Really cool ad though.

Obviously war is a terrible thing but not experiencing it or being raised by parents who did, today’s generations are beyond spoiled also have sadly lost something important that’s very prevalent in these old ads, patriotism!:frown:
