Recently, I found a tattered old National Geographic magazine from December 1945. In it, I found this old Studebaker advertisement. I collect old car advertisements like this and have a little over 200 of them, but I think this is one of the coolest ones I’ve ever found, both because of the lovely artwork and  the sentiment expressed in it. It will have a special place in my collection.

That one paragraph is imbued with so much of the American self identity of the time.  It really is part of history.

The late wartime/early postwar ads are interesting.

I like how Ford did it - they used this before the end of the war:

And followed it up with this:
