ACE OF BASE

What happens when you take Porsche’s old school entry level model and give it a very not entry level upgrade? This is a 914 as you’ve never seen it before

Car ads that time forgot BMW 2000, 1970S

Shocking isn’t it? Not the car, not the design, not even the lady draped across the car, but the tone of it. Take me to your husband? Really?

Imagine trying to get that advertising campaign in a magazine or on a billboard these days...
