Description
Nash-Kelvinator – Full color 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad done as World War II was winding down and reminding the Servicemen that what they were fighting for, what they remembered, still existed at home. The headline says “Waiting for You…” and has a drawing of a young man and his close-sitting girl driving on a scenic road in an open-topped car. The text scrolls off a list of memories and sensations that were probably vivid in the dreams of homesick soldiers and ends with the joyous mention that Nash would switch from “the building of engines of war to the making of two great new cars designed to be the finest, biggest, most comfortable, most economical, most advanced automobiles ever produced in their respective fields”. They also mentioned plans to “build these cars in numbers three times greater than we did before the war” so they could “help contribute jobs, the opportunities, the futures which will insure the strong, vital and growing America all of us owe to those who are fighting and working to preserve it”.
