I never heard of Almquist until afterit was gone. They had some really different stuff.

 

Steffen -No love for the M**tang, but the Marlin is way cool. Big, wide bucket seats.

 

Steffen-

You seem to have a fondness for old Chrysler products, much as I do. And you've got a good eye for some great illustration art. I'd sure like to have a poster of this work hanging on my wall. A surprisingly aeronautical feel for an auto poster. But after looking for a bit more of Edmond Maurus' work it begins to make perfect sense.

Wonderfull car and the design advanced for '65!
Any other "FASTBACK" 1965? I don't know one.

Edmond Maurus is a great artist.
As you mentioned many "travel" themes.
But I found one more automotivemotive:

 

AF - VK,..it just doesn't get any better than this! Even now, I want to buy one so I can haul my yacht or go ski-ing or at least buy a admirals cap and join the yacht club.

1964 Plymouth Barracuda was a popular fastback.

 

... Sorry, I forgot this.
Hemi under glass ... etc.

 

Here's a reason to like Chrysler. Ad that wasn't heavy on graphic design, but effective!

 

Also forgot this:



and this:

 

Well I think we can both agree that they've become a lot less impressive since they've been rolled into Fiat...

 

Höhöhöh.

 

1960 Rambler

 

I don't think that Mopar is light on graphic design. It's just anorther style I also like very much.
The typographic ad you posted is great.
And here some more wonderful, very minimal b&w ads:
