Description
1921 Standard Eight – Full color 8 3/4″ x 11 3/4″ ad for the car that the Standard Steel Car Company called “A Powerful Car”. The ad has a picture of a stylish Brown Two-Door over the headline that says that power is More Than Speed or Climbing”. The ad text compares the kind of power that this car has to “what a golfer puts into his drive” and “what the billiard player puts into his shot that gives a long roll to the balls without seeming to shoot hard”. The ad lists the models that were available that year and their prices including the Touring Car for $3400, the Vestibule Sedan for $5000. the Sport for $3400, the Sedan for $4800, the Roadster for $3400, the Sedanette for $4500, the Chassis for $3150 and the Coupe for $4500. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
