Description
Fords – Full color 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad that tries to convince you that Fords are so good that you should Buy Them in Pairs. The picture in the ad shows a family that did just such a thing. The woman of the house is pulling her Orange and White Fairlane 500 Town Victoria out of the driveway as her husband and their three sons have just arrived home from a fishing trip in their other Ford, a Blue and White Del Rio Ranch Wagon. The males are unloading all of their gear and the father proudly holds up their prize catch, a malnourished fish about eight inches long. The headline urges you to “Set your family 2-Ford free” and claim that “over 300,000 American families” have already done so. The text describes the beauty of these two cars and reminds you that “You can own two fine Fords for the price of one ‘fine’ car!”.
