Anyone got late 30's car ads?

[Mel]

I'm looking for some ads from 1935-1939 to help me determine what year this dress is for class. I know it's somewhere in there due to silhouette and fabric. Anyone got any ads or websites I should look at? Thanks so much for your help!

Do a search on something for "1930's Fashion" or something. Surprisingly alot of stuff comes up. Not sure if it is what you are looking for, though.

Thanks guys!
The reason I asked for car ads is that the clothing is always new to date and everyday type wear clothing. All the stuff I got off of search engines has been to vague so far. The problem being that I am supposed to date this garment. I appreciate your help!

I tried to date a garment once. Dinner and the movie went okay, although she was kinda quiet. It was afterward that the trouble started...

I have a ladies home journal from 1921, maybe you'll need it for another project.

[Mel]

Thanks prime, I'll let you know if I ever do....
for now I've got it figured out, I think, at least I can prove it with about 10 ads...

anyway, back to cars..... can't stand being o/t anymore

[prime mover]

yeah lets talk about big cars that take up the whole road, you sure do stay up late.

[Mel]

WTF? I don't know of any car that takes up the whole road... mine only takes up 3/4 http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Research and college = late nights.... what'd you expect? Caffeine is a god!

big car + the way I drive = the whole road. I was just reffering to our big car preferance.
