American automobile advertisements from it's infancy up to 1989. Automobiles, trucks, buses, motor homes, trailers, service stations and accessories. Gas, electric or steam powered. Slight change in format. Advertisements will be posted now by decade, not individually. I will be posting four ads now per decade. Enjoy!

well, there is one proper car still branded Buick. It's made in Russelsheim Germany by the former GM Opel concern, now owned by French PSA group. The Regal, which is an Opel Insignia, and also the current Holden Commodore. |

Those Tiacs were rust buckets. The Fords were great with their irs, rear wheel drive, and 4 wheel disc brakes. Built in Lorraine, Ohio. The final T-birds, and Lincoln LS built in Wixom were on the same platform as the swoopy Jaguar S-type. |

My Grandpa had a 53’ Nash Ambassador like the red and black one in the ad, only his was two tone green, dark green roof and light green body. I remember I thought it was ugly then. He traded it for a 55’ Studebaker Hawk, three tone, cream, salmon and charcoal grey body, with a cream roof. It was a hot little 2 dr HT in its day.

the first time I visited Santa Barbara, CAlif. in 1976 I saw the actor, Burl Ives, Big Daddy in “Cat on A Hot Tin Roof”, driving a silver AMC Pacer in Montecito. This is another car that I always thought was ugly as homemade sin.
Thanks Louie for posting these great ads from the past, they always bring back memories. Eddie |

As always... Thank You Louis for taking the time to post these.
My favorite years for cars was up until 1972. Once they started with the "Park Bench" safety bumpers, I lost most of my interest in American cars. Lincolns always perked me up but the style changes were getting too compact for full size cars. End of an Era. |

I always enjoy these Cruise O Matic posts. I think the last really great year all around for American automobiles was 1967. The body styles were all so graceful, the interiors beautiful, and performance was unhampered for the most part from the federal regulations that began to take control the next year in 68’.
From the 70’s on I became less and less enchanted with what was being offered. Too much plastic, and all the models started to look the same. Now, I can tell little difference from one make to the other, probably because I just lost interest in what was being offered. When I was 4 and 5 years old I knew the year, make and model of every car I would see on the road, my Dad coached me on this, as he was a car nut thru and thru. I can still identify correctly almost every car I see from the 30’s thru the early 80’s, after that is a blur. Eddie |

the mailaise era of the 70's and 80's, but that '79 Bonneville was a nice middle class car for 6 to 7 grand. Many were even powered with Olds 350's, as Pontiac was already winding down V8 engine peoduction. The 301, and 255 were their last. |
