Description
Full color 7 3/4″ x 11″ ad that discusses some of the advantages to buying and riding a Honda. There is a picture of a couple standing next to a Honda Super 90 looking it over. The man stares with intense interest and the woman is leaning on the man’s shoulder with a “Whatever you want, Dear” look on her face so you have to assume that they are not married yet. The headline asks “What’s new in wheels?” and answers “4 minus 2”. The text starts to list the many advantages that you will have with a Honda. It mentions a price of $215, painless insurance, negligible upkeep and ease of parking. It talks about the reliability of the 4-stroke Honda engine and the availability of 15 models. The meaning of the headline is explained by asking “Who needs 4 wheels” after all the benefits just listed and reminds you that “After all, you meet the nicest people on a Honda“. It may just be the opinion of a man but the people that were met in the ads run in Playboy seemed to be more exciting than the people met in ads run in Life magazine.
