Corvette ads

[Mike E.]

Does anyone have, or know of a source for, ads for Corvettes at least from 53-72? I've never seen a source that gives the ad with page number, edition, and name of magazine. I don't have the book produced some years ago on Corvette ads, but don't remember that it had such a resource.
Thanks in advance!

Mike, I have never seen a source that contained all 3, the magazine, the edition and page number. I would think it would be an overwhelming task, to try and document all the GM 53-72 Corvette ads in every magazine they appeared in.
BTW, most of the GM ads in magazines, do not have a page minber on the ad page itself. Hope this helps. Dave

Re: Corvette ads

I have a CD that has Corvette Ads from 1953 to 2000.

It states "A collection of over 200 nostalgic Corvette ads that captured the hearts of the American driving public!" These are full page ads that are about 200-300kb each.

It is produced by Hi Tech Software.

Mike, I have CORVETTE! THIRTY YEARS OF ADVERTISING published in 1983 by Automobile Quarterly. It has an index in the back of the book that lists the ads from 1953-1982 by ad title, description, placement (which includes page number) and date. The index covers ten pages. I can fax them to you when I return to my office Monday and/or I can look up any specific ad that you might be looking for. Happy New Year to all! I'm staying in tonight. Jim Weeks #2978

Re: Corvette ads

Jim or anyone else, could you tell me what publication (and month if possible) the '67 ad titled "Deuces wild!" was found?

Re: Corvette ads

Chris,

I think that ad appeared in Sports Illustrated (and/or perhaps the New Yorker). I don't know what date(s), but I'll try and check in 'Corvette-Thirty Years of Great Advertising' tonight and e-mail you later. BTW, I've had great success finding some of these old magazines at used bookstores and flea markets. They usually sell for $1-3 per issue, which is a lot cheaper than you'd pay for just the ad itself from a specific vendor (plus you'll get several other ads for cars, Coke, etc that you might be able to trade).
