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!

1928 Pierce Arrow
Today we had a special guest in our parking garage under my apartment building. I guess the owner(s) visited someone in the building here and parked it for a while in the garage. I took some pictures.

Tom I almost always agree with you, but on the ‘53 Nash Ambassador and Statesman I have to disagree, personally.
My maternal Grandpa had ‘53 Nash Country Club 2 dr HT like the Black and Red one in the post above. Grandpa’s Nash was Light Green with a Dark Green top and it was as ugly as homemade sin. He bought it new from the Nash dealer in Oakland, Calif. And then immediately left on a camping trip to Twain Hart with my Aunt and Uncle and their three kids. Twain Harte was maybe 150 miles away from their home. When they got there the new Nash was acting up, something with the transmission. Grandpa was a mechanic and of course there were no nearby Nash dealers. So Grandpa and Uncle Ray got into my uncles ‘53 Mercury Monterey and drove to the nearest service station. The station had a grease pit like they all did then and a tow truck. Grandpa talked the service station owner into letting him rent the grease pit to repair the Nash himself and paid the guy to tow the Nash to his station. Whatever parts were needed to make the repair apparently the service station had on hand. Grandpa and Uncle Ray got the Nash repaired. They stayed in Twain Harte for the rest of their vacation. When they got back home the next day Grandpa drove the Nash back to the dealer in Oakland. In ‘53 there no warranties on new cars. Grandpa told the dealer about his breakdown on the brand new Nash and told them that he wanted them to take it back and give him another new car because if it was gonna breakdown in less than 500 miles he didn’t trust it. The dealer said no. To which grandpa replied, “Well if you don’t I’m gonna drive that SOB right through your plate glass window”, and he meant it. The dealer changed his mind and replaced the lemon Nash with another. Grandpa loved to relate this story about the Nash. In ‘55 grandpa replaced that butt ugly Nash with an new ‘55 Studebaker Hawk 2 dr HT, tri-colored paint job in Coral, Charcoal and White with an matching interior. That was a hot little car.

 The only "new" car I ever had was a top-of-the-line sedan I won in a raffle. The raffle tickets cost me $300. One of the raffle organizers had already put about 1,000 miles on it, so it wasn't exactly new. Still have it; it's my main ride when I drive. In pretty good shape, aside from some minor parking lot dings here and there. Still runs like new. Not bad for a 25 year old ride that cost me $300...
