Once upon a time in America - advertising 45 years ago
Were advertisers more creative half a century ago? Sometimes it almost seems that way, at least when you leaf through an American automobile magazine that was printed 45 years ago.
The Datsun advertisement alone is really funny. They actually had a well-known painter do an oil painting of the Japanese coupé!
And the Dodge Charger also drives through a painted landscape, with wild motocross riders in the background.
A Triumph TR6 advertises the classic English sports car, ...
... while Jaguar praises the advantages of the twelve-cylinder engine.
Car care is advertised just as much as spare parts for foreign cars.
And tire manufacturers are also engaged in a promotional battle.
The most appealing advertisement, however, is probably Honda's, which comes with the slogan that love has just become a little cheaper ...
Have fun and take a look at all the advertising variety from back then...
