The pair of men who did the Pontiac ads, for many years, did outstanding jobs! Capturing the essence of what the brand was about. Youth, enjoyment, plus some sophistication, with a certain amount of what we'd later term "bling".
Looking at the many 1950s Buick illustrations, the depicted cars were artfully lengthened to make them look bigger than they really were. All in perfect proportions, though. It would be hard to duplicate that in modern "machine-generated" images, I suspect!
The Dodge Truck chassis Travco motor homes were very well done, inside and outside. One time, a friend bought one to go deer hunting in. He was proud of it! Had a miniature tv near the kitchen cabinet. As I entered and looked around, seeing all of the 1960s upscale details, I kind of expected James Garner and Doris Day to hastily make an exit from the rear bedroom area. Definitely a work of art!
It looks like James Garner and Doris Day in the wide-track Pontiac :) Buick had the longest name in the biz with the Series 75 Roadmaster Limited Riviera. Riviera was the name given to all of Buick’s two-door and four-door hardtops, before the name was bestowed on their separate model luxury coupe. -Rj
