Description
Cadillac – Full color 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad that tries to have you believe that owning a Cadillac is the easiest way to attain status. There is a picture of the front of The Homestead where a formal event is letting out. A Yellow Four-Door Cadillac is placed conveniently in the way and a man stands by the front of the passenger side, waving with style at a couple who seem to be impressed. The headline assures you that “A Man Needs No Introduction…to those about him when he sits at the wheel of a Cadillac“. Most of the rest of the text is about the reputation that a Cadillac has and the reputation that an owner of a Cadillac is sure to assume. Near the end of the text it does urge you to “stop in soon – spend an hours in the driver’s seat” although I am not sure if they expect you to be impressed at the style and ride or the impression that you are bound to make on your friends.
