Three Generations With Ford

Full-page ad for Swendson Ford found in a 1974 Center States Football League yearbook for the West Allis Spartans featuring the three generations of Swendsons: H. P. Swendson, E. A. Swendson, and Tom Swendson. Notice how formal initials gave way to less intimidating “buddy” names.

Car Mustache

Whether your car is attending a fancy event, or trying to go incognito while infiltrating a foreign spy ring, you need to get yourself a Carstache.  Hooked on to your grill, any vehicle can be made more stylish, and they come in a variety of haircolors depending on your vehicle’s temperment.

Make sure you clean it a lot: remember how icky your grille gets due to insects who can’t be troubled to get out of the road?    Leave it too long without a good Stanley Steemer going-over, and it’ll look like the doormat of the Batcave.    We sure want one – don’t forget how much we love moustaches!

Once Upon A Time, You Needed BIG Hair To Move Those Muscle Cars

Also, it was important that the bows in your ridiculously big hair match the paint on the autos you were selling; like the orange of this Dodge Swinger 340.
