Description
Full color 9 3/4″ x 13″ ad that is for the Aurora Model Motoring. This ad has two different drawings here and you might be surprised at what they are. In the first drawing it shows several boys of different ages playing very happily on their track as they are racing cars around and around, and their parents watching happily. The ad begins by asking, “Know what he really wants for Christmas? A Model Motoring set by Aurora. Who can blame him? Imagine what a thrill to be invited to “get behind the wheel” of a brand new XKE Jag and be told to let ‘er rip! Look at it his way: off he goes…thundering into the straightaway, pedal to the floor on the upgrades…brakes screaming at the turns…flat out in the stretch…streaking past the checkered flag a split-second ahead of the pack”. The text goes on with many more descriptions, but, the important thing is at the bottom of the ad, it says “Look what happens after the kids go to bed!” and we see a group of adults, playing excitedly.
