A Simpler Time

27 Aug 2003 by

Some incredible, uplifting automobile/lifestyle images from EphemeraNow. And be sure to check out these old ads too (including this one by DuPont for Cellophane, and this one for asparagus by Campbell’s and this one for New York Air Brake). [original link credit: Coudal].

Keen! Move over Lileks, this site is great.

I love these old ads, so gorgeous AND sexist!
