Vintage Ads Reimagined: Slammed And Chopped
This Saturday is turning into a visual sort of day (NHTSA data dive fatigue?) with an emphasis on vintage ads and photo-chops. How about a combination of the two? Hemmings blog found these at Lowtech, and they brought a smile to my working-on-Saturday face. Nice 1953 Chebby! And the kids and ladies are duly enthralled.
How about a nice ’58 Dodge Sierra wagon to impress you friends with on the way to dinner? The funny thing is, I saw plenty of old wagons like this in their time riding almost this low (certainly in the back) loaded up with kids and gear heading for summer vacations.
A ’56 Caddy is always a crowd pleaser, especially with its nice low stance. The ladies certainly look impressed.
We can’t leave Ford out of the fun, especially since it proudly wears the “sled of the year” moniker.
And a fuscia-colored ’59 Mercury showing off its low, lower, lowest profile.
We’ll come full circle back to the ’53 Chevy, always a favorite for slamming. Nice work, guys!

This is how memories should be! @RS: if that chevvy were really that low, it would probably be scraping its oil pan. I lived in Stanford, about 35 miles south of SF, my last year of high school, 70-71. My girlfriend and I used to drive into SF on weekends. When you go down the hills, you suddenly get level at each intersection, and then it's down again at an amazing angle. Driving the '62 Falcon down those hills was a blast! Driving up--well, alas, my Falcon didn't have all that '53 Chevvy high compression.
As a loyal fan of the Lowtech blog, I have seen these ads before, and they have inspired me to do some of my own. If you would like to see them check it out here: http://www.roadmaster.dk/vintageads.htm
