not very straight correct car adverts...

[deQuincey]

found one,..

 

[Bmachine]

Ouch. Not cool. The things people thought they could/can get away with...

Even though we probably drive the same amount and I have a few years of racing behind me, I have to admit that I’ve bent a lot more sheet metal than my wife has.

 

[Markos]

Pretty much any car ad from the 60/70’s, not excluding BMW.

 

[Stevehose]

great thread!

 

[Ohmess]

Keep them coming.

I like the $2,477 starting price for the 1600. Assuming the ad is from 1969, that is the equivalent of $17,411 today. What sort of manly new car can you buy for that now?

Not German but...

My first car, 1960 Fiat 600D! $100 in 1968

 

[Eric V]

Ha! mine too, 1959 600 sedan with the big Webasto-like roof, $120 in 1976 complete with a broken crankshaft and a stack of Playboy magazines under the seat.

As I recall reading, you are on the tall side. Must have been quite a lot of joking going on with you and that car.

Bob, only 6’5”! My buddies would pick it up and put it over the parking island at high school.

And my college buddies would put my '62 VW Beetle on the sidewalk outside the bar. What fun.

 

[Stevehose]

in college we put my friend's MG Midget on the portch of our fraternity house. Good times

 

[rsporsche]

when i was in high school we put the VW beetle, of one of our teachers, straddling over a small creek ... the expression on his face was priceless.

My Buddies attacked my 67 Biscayne with hammers and a crow bar. It was quite a beater that my brother gave me.

 

[rsporsche]

ouch ... how long did you continue to hang with your 'buddies'?

 

[Stevehose]

Does this qualify?

 

[Bmachine]

Does this qualify?

Playing devil's advocate, I don't know if the dangers of nicotine were as well known in the early seventies. However, there has never been an excuse for sexism of any kind.

 

[Arde]

Good one!

Is the blonde inside the car a male or female?
If female, is it the same person as the woman outside the car?
The other two guys also look like the same person photographed from the opposite angle.
Is that Verona in our VIN database?

Does this qualify?
