Description
Ford – Full color 9 3/4″ x 13 3/4″ ad that is for the 1967 Ford Two-Door. This ad was written with the intention of convincing people that the 1967 Ford was tough, not just tough but tough enough to be crazy. At the top of the ad there is a side view of this car just sitting there looking as though nothing is going to happen. The ad mentions that “We’d do anything to prove our beautiful ’67 Ford is strong. After two bone-jarring championship leaps on Lake Placid’s Olympic Ski Jump, this brand new Ford was still new-Ford quiet. That’s strong! That’s our 1967 Ford. Quieter because it’s stronger…stronger because it’s better built”. At the bottom of this ad we can see a picture of the trouble that they put this car through. The picture shows the car jumping off of about a six-foot height into the snow. The car is shown flying through the air, all four wheels off the ground, and looking for a safe place to land.
