Title: My Favorite 1st gen Ad
Post by: Oregonjam on July 10, 2009, 02:58:40 PM

Any one have a favorite ad?

This one got beat up over the years but it is framed now. It started appearing in magazines in 1966.

I like them all, especially if the have a '68 Z/28 in them.  Two of the following ads weren't even advertising the Camaro but are some of my favorites...

Would drive me nuts.  Couldn't go 2 sentences without a huge error.  

"Brand new at your Chevrolet dealer's, [...]"

At your dealer's what?  Your dealer's lot?  Your dealer's store?  Your dealer's house?  Your dealer's mistress's vacation home in Cancun?  Don't leave me hanging!!  Where can I find one of these cars?!!!  When Thursday, Sept. 29 arrives, where should I be in order to see and buy one of these things?

It would appear back then, like today English teachers were either lax or sighing with disbelief.

 My favorite (sorry I don't have a copy of it) is the one with a 69 Corvette and a 69 RS/SS Camaro sitting in a barn and it says "Will take on any two cars in the magazine"

 thanks Paul I have not seen that in a long time and it was good to see it again. Seening it made me think of another one I used to see and I don't remember the year but at the top it said "A word or Two to the compitetion You Loose". Seems like it had a 68 SS in it but I don't remember for sure.

All picking at Grammar aside, I dig all the ads. I figured some of you would have a bunch I have not seen before.

I got these two emailed to me. I lowered the dpi to upload them, thanks again Jack.

I just noticed I posted the poor, b&w "you lose" pic.
Here is a nicer version.
