In terms of classic print ads, and really life in general, I’m going to have to call autumn my favorite time of year. Sure, spring brings with it vitality and new growth, and if you were illustrating car ads, spring-themed ads might have worked well for sportier rides.
Summer is a pretty good family season, and car ads themed around vacation and travel always seemed to work well in terms of marketing autos. Winter is tougher, and unless you were selling safety and security–or perhaps attaching your message to a Christmas theme–winter wasn’t always the best backdrop for a car advertisement.
Now, fall… that’s a great season. First, you have the colors to work with—distinct, strong, eye-catching. Plus, there’s the bounty of the harvest, and, of course, Thanksgiving. To help celebrate the autumn, we’ve amassed a group of Thanksgiving and autumn-themed auto ads for your consideration. Let us know what you think…what season makes for the best classic car ad?
