Corvette Original Advertising

Ralph Spears asked me to post this original 66 advertisement. I imagine there are a lot of original pieces within this group.

Nice Ad Ralph.....

Question, why is he using a screwdriver and a 5/8" wrench to change his oil?

Those were the days - when wives would allow you to work on cars in your snowy white jumper

Now - au contraire - I am only allowed to wear really old t-shirts (and white gloves )

I'm not certain, but it appears the HP rating in the ad may be incorrect...doesn't that look like the L36 engine?
Love to see these old ads, but I've been wondering about this particular one for several years.

The Restorer used to have old ads on the back cover. I have made some into posters for the garage, they are pretty cool. Don H.

Looks more like it to me that he can't get the headlight motor to work.

Try this site. It's from a First Generation Firebird site member (I believe he's in Europe somewhere). The site has brochures/ads for many American cars and has quite a Corvette collection, particularly for mid-years; enjoy:

You'll find on the C1,C2 and C3 registries countless vintage Vette ads under the menu option Ads (at the top of each registry). You can browse through the model years to find the corresponding ads (also from other vendors then GM)!
