Getting Directions at Ford Dealership, 1924
Add to SetSummary
In 1924-25 the Ford Motor Company ran a series of sixteen dramatic advertisements in the Saturday Evening Post and Country Gentleman magazines. The effectiveness of the ads was due in large part to the specially commissioned artwork that accompanied the descriptive text. This painting is for one of just two ads in the series where the Model T -- the company's core product -- figures with high prominence.
