Description
Rambler – Full color 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad that wants you to “Go Rambler – the compact car. Get the best of both: Big car room, small car economy”. This ad has a picture of a Green Rambler Custom 4-Door Sedan above drawings of a red sedan and a blue Station Wagon. The Rambler Custom shown is taken at an airport with a plane boarding and a man is squatting down and taking a picture of one man and two women who, I assume, are going to get on or off the plane. At the top of the ad is a set of pictures drawn in a cartoon script called The Pilot Who Flew Off The Handle. It tells the story of a man who had a car that he had to rent a hanger for because, the tailfins were so big, the car wouldn’t fit in. The car was rattling and falling apart and friends suggested that he use his other experiences to find a better car. An engineer friend suggested that he might be better off to look at a Rambler. This led the pilot, and his wife, to go to their nearest Rambler dealer and they were very impressed with what they had to offer. So they bought one and now, they are saving more with every single mile.
