Old ads

The Great Indian Ads

These adverts are scans from the 1958 Christmas Day edition of the Times of Cyprus newspaper, when advertising was alot less sophisticated! Although this advert still looks a classic to this day.

Volkswagen, Drummond sweaters and Kellogg's all feature in the collection of men groping their wives, treading on them and blowing smoke in their faces.

If a car maker wants to advertise a new vehicle, more often than not it’ll turn to video. But ads used to be so much simpler—and cleverer.

Nice Atari ad from 1981. I remember when my Dad took us to Toys R Us to buy this system. It was the first game system we ever owned. It came with Space Invaders and I remember saving my money to buy Asteroids, which was all the rage back then. The graphics and sound effects were horrible, but I loved it. I still have my system and play it now and then. From my personal collection.
