01
Artifact Overview
Actor Clark Gable posed with a Lincoln Continental used in his 1947 film The Hucksters. Automakers were always happy to have one of their cars featured prominently in a hit movie. It was terrific advertising and, before television, the only kind of mass media ad that could show a car in motion.
