"This is Rebel. New Zoomy, Roomy Rambler Doesn't Cramp Your Style, Or Your Legs, Or Your Family, Or Your Pocketbook," 1966
Add to SetSummary
The automobile is a paradox -- a practical tool that plays host to both human needs and fantasies. Like car consumers, automotive ads seem to land somewhere between fantasy and reality, emotions and rationality. Many ads incorporate apparent opposites: fantasy can sell practicality, and vice versa. Sometimes the car has disappeared completely -- an emotional appeal prompts us to complete the ad.
