One of my favorite advertising campaigns, the Mini

From http://theautoinsiderblog.com/ who focuses on a lot of new and concept cars

svammelsurium a Swedish automotive blog has posted that I've never even heard of before, South African Chevy Sports Coupe (Australian Monaro)

Above and below a Chevelle, made in South Africa. The hood scoops are quite a intriguing look.

Damien emailed me to let me know more about this car I've never seen or read about before (Thanks a bunch!) "It was common in the late 60's early 70's for slightly modified oz cars to be sold in South Africa

See wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_Monaro

(South African market)
Some HT series Monaro 'GTS' coupes were exported to or assembled in South Africa from imported parts by General Motors South African (GMSA)at the Port Elizabeth assembly plant. Later the HG series Monaro was assembled and sold in SA badged as the Chevrolet SS.

(Suddenly I want one of these, it would be the only one around)

At this time GMSA had made a decision to market most of its products as Chevrolets. The Chev SS as it became known in SA was based on the HG Monaro with revised front styling unique to the SA model and incorporating four headlights and large turn indicators in the front edge of the fenders above the bumper. Most of the Monaro / Chevrolet SS Coupes assembled in SA were fitted with Holden 308 engines. The Chevrolet 350 in³ (5.7 L) engine was available as an option in the GMSA assembled Chevrolet SS.[

Some more info and brochures for the sa cars:

information from Damien ( Awesome! ) an Aussie with a great blog http://onfourwheels.blogspot.com/ that has lots of Australian car show photography (expect a follow up post on that!)

beer trucks, cool from the design, form, and function aspects. Cool rolling advertisements too, because at the time, alcoholic ads were illegal

Another late 1960's fashion clothing advertised with a sports, muscle, or race car... what was in the water among the magazine editors?

Signature magazine, October 1968 via: http://burstsausages.com/

This sort of car and clothes fashion thing amuses me, for the others I found:
the 1968 fashion magazine photo shoot with the Dodge line up for 1969: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/02/blog-post_24.html and a one page Dodge Dart ad http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/01/picture-is-worth-thousand-words-except.html http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/06/im-impressed-and-amazed-by-obscurity-of.html

If you've seen the Red Bull mini trucks advertising, then these shouldn't be much of a surprise. Cool, but not the first to drive around advertising

Melisaki.tumbler.com has a cool variety of car and aircraft photos, here's a couple

What happened to the high level of restroom cleanliness as the high priority? Former First lady Eleanor Roosevelt once toured the US inspecting them, and that is quite a feat of publicity!
