These are some classic vintage posters that advertise Coca Cola. It’s no wonder that the soft drink became so popular with all the advertising.

Kick Ass Vintage Rally Cars (100 pics)

Driving one of these classic rally cars meant you would be facing a great deal of breakdowns and malfunctioning car parts. Crashes were the norm, and pit crews were non-existent, but brave men continued to race these rattling death vehicles all over the country.

Advertising and packaging are always a sure way to view a small time capsule from the past. These fantastic retro images will bring back the good ole days, or after viewing them you might be glad that we have forgotten the past and move forward to the future with new ideas in marketing and advertising design.

Spooky Vintage Ads (18 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       13 Aug 2010       41504

Those who dislike nowadays ads and commercials have never seen a vintage ad of the 50-s. The kids from the posters, supposed to look cute, are absolutely spooky! I dare say parents used to terrify their disobedient children with those ad pictures. And one more thing I wonder about - did the companies make any profit with those ads?!

Crazy Stunts from the Past (26 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       2 Jun 2010       13532

I love this set of old photos with all these great stunts. Maybe stunts today seem more spectacular but they don’t have that thing that makes them believable and in most cases computer graphics are used.

Here, there’s no green screen or security equipment. They only have two options: whether they succeed or they fail. Real daredevils from back then.

Very Sexist Ads from the 50’s (24 pics)

Here’s a little but very interesting collection of retro ads.

I know that a lot has changed compared to the 50’s and that our society was quite sexist but I didn’t know that it was sexist to that extent.

But despite all the sexism in the ads they are also funny. Don’t get me wrong, I mean, it’s a good thing that we evolve and can laugh at our stupidities made in the past. I am pretty sure, our descendants will laugh at our today’s stupidities in the future.

The photos of these vintage postcards in this post are quite unusual. While the landscape appears quite normal, not all of the participants in the drawings are. They make for some very unusual postcards indeed.

Excellent vintage photo excursion to a Porsche 959 factory.
German auto giant began to elaborate this model back in 1981, and only 7 years later the world saw the coming of the first true supercar.
