Traveling Comfort for the Dog (Dec, 1932)
Quoted ad text ( hilarious):
"ANYONE who has ever attempted a long motor trip on which a large dog was taken along will appreciate the “Bird-dog’s Palace,” recently placed on the market.
Made of sheet steel, insulated inside so that the animal will not come in contact with the metal, the “Palace” is so constructed that it may easily be clamped to the running board without marring the finish of the car. The barred door slides upward, permitting the dogs to be released without the driver having to leave his seat. An oil-cloth cover may be unrolled and buttoned into place if the weather is bad or the road dusty. The “Palace” is made in several sizes to accommodate all kinds of dogs."

Glen Campbell and Bobby Gentry on Vine in front of Nick's Burgers. Capitol Records would be just North of them which probably explains why they are standing there. Glen recorded endless recording sessions at the Tower. He was also an in demand studio musician and a member of The Wrecking Crew.

Selling Steel with Style, Part IV: Some grilles and grins today, both pre-war and post, in more of those factory press release photos that we so enjoy. This photo apparently shows Vera West a Hollywood costume designer. We assume she was responsible for the form fitting gown the model posing with the car was wearing. You can see four more photos in todays post along with over 40 interesting pages of photos of women and cars @ http://theoldmotor.com/?cat=15

Lincoln Motor Company Dec. 2013 advertisement, perfectly choreographed with just the right touch of retro.

Honoring the vision of our past, the all-new 2013 MKZ is our latest testament to innovation and excellence in design. The new road starts here."
