For one point: This woman is serving more than coffee. What else is she selling?

Since DeSoto comes to mind every time I see that photo, I'll take a wild swing at that.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #8 on:** March 30, 2013, 03:38:22 AM »

No, not DeSoto

No sir.

Could it be VW? They had some quirky adverts.

RayTheRat · « **Reply #12 on:** March 31, 2013, 05:44:49 PM »

Is it an ad for a particular car brand?

Not them. This ad was at once mainstream and a major shift in advertising.

Yes

RayTheRat · « **Reply #15 on:** April 01, 2013, 04:28:14 AM »

To narrow things down a bit, is the ad from after 1950?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #16 on:** April 01, 2013, 04:33:49 AM »

It is not

RayTheRat · « **Reply #18 on:** April 01, 2013, 04:56:21 AM »

1940-1950?

It's a variation on Packard's pre-war ad theme

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #22 on:** April 01, 2013, 06:04:49 AM »

That's it. Packard had long used the "ask the man who owns one" tagline it their advertising. This was a new angle for them.

Congratulations, Pal!

I second Ray's congrats.
1 hour-20 minutes on that one and never got close. I was stuck in the 1930's
