Description
Dodge – Full color 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad that compares the quality of the new Dodge to what an Admiral is used to seeing on his ship. There is a drawing of a Navy man in uniform standing next to a parked Blue Four-Door Dodge while his three children and the dog are either milling around or being held in the arms of this proud man. The headline explains that “It’s a Ship We’re Buying” and the text explains that this is the way that this unbiased yet knowledgeable man feels about his new car. It talks about the All-Fluid Drive and compares it to the proven technology that has driven the warships used in World War II. It also claims, as he brags about his car to his friends and acquaintances, that he calls it “the smoothest car afloat”.
