History GRAPHIC DESIGN WHEN RACING WAS DANGEROUS AND SEX WAS SAFE!

Great thread!

If you enjoy any of the pictures in this thread, I can recommend a book, Retro Ride - Advertising Art of the American Automobile - by Tony Swan. I picked a used copy at Half Priced Books but it is available on line. The cover is somewhat deceptive but as soon as I open it up I knew I had to have it.

 

I know the book. Thanks for the info. And you are right: the cover, äh, .... wtf?

Best song for this - and best Bill Haley song ever (I never understand why other songs from him had more success).

And here's the rocket theme implemented in automotive history with a typical naive illustration.
