Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad for the BFG Silvertown Radial 990. There is a picture of an attractive woman in a short silvery dress lying on the ground and pushing, with one finger, on the trunk lid of a red car. My first reaction at seeing this ad was to recall the movie The Attack of the 50-ft Woman from the Fifties but I don’t have time to watch it again. The headline announces that “B.F. Goodrich launches The Radial Age” and the caption under the picture promises “All at once, tire mileage gets an almost unbelievable boost!”. The text talks about the changes you will notice in the number of miles a set of tires will last with radial, the traction, the high speed stability and the improved gas mileage.
