Not-Quite-a-Racing Line of Underpowered Convertibles (1928)

JF Ptak Science Books  Quick Post

Well, I really don’t have much to say about this ad except that I like the design and that it is not typical featuring nothing but women drivers in tanktops behind the wheel of the car you’re trying to sell.. It looks as though there are 20 cars in a row here, stretching back like 120′ or so from the camera.  The women are at the wheel of one of Brennabor’s four cylinder, 70 horsepower sports-ish vehicles, capable of seating two (not-big) people.
