    This is a thread where you can post and discuss all kinds of car ads from all periods - print ads, commercials, radio ads, billboards, etc.

    To start things off, here's a rather hot take from Ford.

    Well, they do have some humility.

    Here are some ads from my favourite carmaker.
    Also, first ad for the Yugo show what was the initial idea behind placing Yugo in US, but appears that buyers didn't get that.

    Ironically, understatement fits this car nowadays more than back then.
