Chrysler 58

Toronto Globe, March 8 1926

You've got to admire an advertiser who has the guts to say that their product is better than anyone else's. Obviously, anyone who would even consider buying anything other than a Chrysler must have brains of cheese.

Nowadays, most advertisers are a little bit more modest about their achievements – or at least are prepared to accept the possibility that their potential customers might choose a competitor. (They're also prepared to accept the possibility that a woman might actually buy one of their cars.)

Note to modern-day SUV drivers: the 1926 Chrysler economy car gets 30 miles to the gallon.
