Description
Rambler Classic – Full color 10″ x 13″ ad shows a light blue two-door Classic parked under the shade of a large tree while the couple that drove up in it lounge in the spreading limbs and wonder if they should move it before any birds land above the car. The headline says “198 in the shade” then reveals they were talking about the engine size by continuing “(Also available with 145, 155 and 270 hp)”. The text explains there were “torrid Sixes and V-8’s, up to 327 cu.in.” and talks about these and other sporty options they were resorting to in an effort to generate sales. Shown in the bottom right-hand side of this ad is a tan-colored Classic convertible as another example of “sporty”.
