‘50s ads were prone to exaggeration. Like this one:

Well, the B-58 didn’t have a patented Fashion-Aire™ Dynastar™ grille, so the Buick was better.

This car is one of those cases where the illustrated people in the car aren’t drawn exaggeratedly small to make the car look bigger - it really is that big. 58 Oldsmobuicks are pretty wacky, Cadillac that year seems elegant and restrained in comparison.

It is an interesting reference to use in ANY consumer product ad— likely reflecting a mix of post-WWII-confidence and Cold War barely-concealed-angst.
Can you imagine the outrage if a consumer products titan , like say Apple, compared the sleek lines, advanced circuitry and comprehensive software of a new iPhone to the same attributes of, maybe , the new YAGM-180A paired with the newest W80-4 dial-a-yield warhead?
“Make your work problems disappear in a fiery cloud of productivity! ” “ Toxic followers on Twitter? Deserve a nuclear annihilation of Tweetstorms!”
A tad different than pairing Gordon Ramsay with a Costco food sample station. But the B-58 sure rocked... if briefly.
