High powered hemi hoodless hopped up Hupmobile hot rod. I think that’s enough H’s in that sentence.

Well, I mean, it’s nice, but it doesn’t come with a flapper. It does have an eight, at least.

That’s as may be, but the flapper acquisition potential is very high.

“You’ve always admired the Hupmobile - consciously and unconsciously made it the standard”. I love 20s/30s advertising, and on a related note
this
is a great book.

So much better than the dancing hipster and “real people-not actors” bullshit we get now. And that book sounds like a more insane, prewar Mad Men.

If given the choice between “zingers” and vague aimless meme phrases vs. old school ad copy focused on craft of the English language to describe a car in the most hyperbolic way possible to a literate man and flatter his pretensions, I’m going with the second, because it’s fun. But then, I would.
It doesn’t hurt that the industrial art involved comes from an era in which the ideal of crafting toward beauty was taught, either.

See, look at this shit. Clear, eye-catching, stylish, and a lot of careful thought in the wording.

As it should be, none of this “aluminum sucks, buy our trucks” shit. Here are our cars, have some detailed and glowing prose about them.
