Does anyone know if there is a thread here devoted and dedicated to old dealership newspaper ads. If there is, I am not aware of it, if not how about we start one. I have a real neat one, but scanning and posting here is kinda out of my league regarding computer skills. I think the ad I have may be here somewhere already---it is from 1965 and announcing the '65 442s at "City Olds" in Baltimore, Maryland. It pictures my dad as sales manager.
Guys and gals, what do you think? I really think it would be fun to see some of the older stuff!!!

 

Here is some for ya!

Nice - let's have some more!



So what is "Permanent anti-freeze that they mention on the 2nd to last line of features?
Never knew there was a such thing, then or now...........

 

"$288 down, 36 payments of $66.45"

 

Uh oh.

Looks like my preferred "Cutlass" plural may not be historically accurate.

I always liked "Cutlii" (with a dipthong ), but it looks like it may be .

More!

 

These ads are great! Is there one for '75 delta conv..?

 

Very nice, thanks for sharing.

 

The term "permanent antifreeze" was coined when ethylene glycol antifreeze first appeared after WWII.
Before then, methanol alcohol was used as antifreeze. Both types were available until at least the mid-sixties. Methanol was cheaper but it boiled away easily. This is why ethylene glycol came to be known as "permanent " antifreeze.

 

Thanks for the explanation CJ - makes sense now. I bet many people had thought that they never had to change it......

 

Another.
