I recently saw this vintage Mary Quant poster on the Antiques Roadshow and immediately though of something else.
The bus going up the slope reminded me of a similar image we've seen before on the blog and from a similar period.
Yep, its the three Four-Wheel Drive Toys pictured above which were released by Century 21 Toys in the late Sixties and were then sold by Regent Toys of London. This is an advert from a Joe 90 comic and interestingly there's no mention of Century 21.
Can you think of any other adverts of vehicles driving up slopes like this?
Surely 'Tonka' must have done an ad for one of their bulldozers or tipper trucks going uphill Woodsy? And weren't there various 'Tomy' vehicles that were shown doing stuff like that?
ReplyDeleteNot to mention Evel Knievel's Cycle, which, according to the ad, could go both 'up' AND 'over' that "four foot ditch"!
Mish.
