Description
Hudson Hornet V-8 – Full color 10″ x 14″ ad that announces this car being “way up in power, way down in price!”. The ad has a large picture of a Green and Black 1957 Hudson Hornet V-8 Hardtop that has pulled onto and parked in an area where a small football game is being played on what looks to be a Sunday morning after church. One of the players is checking out the back of the car while the mother is talking to the driver while the daughter is looking at the roomy back seat. There are eight smaller pictures that concentrate on special features such as being Lower Outside, Higher inside, Slim Outside, Wider inside, having the World’s newest V-8…255 hp, new Hydra-Matic, being Built for safety and double comfort. The text describes the car in glowing features while mentioning having “a choice of 32 eye-catching color combinations”. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
