Description
Ford Pickup – Full color 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad for the Economy of the 1959 Ford Pickups. The ad has a picture of a Red and White Ford Styleside pickup being driven on a busy city street. Visible on this street are other Ford vehicles including a Light Blue Ford Panel Truck. In the top of this ad is the top of a calendar page showing the period of one week. Day five in this week is marked “Free Day” and the heading says “One day in five…GAS FREE!” and another headline claims that “’59 Ford Pickups give 25.2% more MPG!”. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
