Not a photo, but I have these old advertisements saved. Crazy how it was all hand-drawn.

Isn't that wild! The hand drawn stuff back then was everywhere, think about cartoons, thousands upon thousands of drawings to make a cartoon. They were soooo much better than the lame computer created ones now. There are good ones now too, but I can't believe how lame some of the cartoons are that my grandchildren watch! They don't look real they look stupid.

Anyway, how about an AD photo bomb? :D The Volvo is totally beaching too!

Nice. I like the four-eyes peeking out of the lumber company. Nice touch. :)

Hopefully it won't be too long before I get back to my truck. Right now, I am overwhelmed big time.

I think some of these assembly line photos have been posted before, but they're just too cool to pass up.

So, when was the last time you saw an AD being helped by a couple of elephants?

The grill and headlight rings that's it, but it's an AD!

What an awesome series of photos. Look at the Giraffe trailer. Now I know what inspired the Vista Cruiser!
