The original advertising art I have is basically the same as what you see here—minus the Last Kiss dialogue I’ve added. So I didn’t think it made sense to post the original on my blog. So no link this time.
(I suspect the ad was originally a two pager—with the second page being text promoting the car. But I haven’t seen it and I’m just guessing.)
Alternate words: “Junior, it was certainly nice of my father to let us use his new enclosed Ford for our date — although it was quite cramped inside. Please remind me next time to clean my footprints off the inside headliner.”
After wife passed I’ve been going through all her crafts and the stuff of my mom’s. I found picture of my granddad, suit, tie and fedora speaking on candle stick phone in his office. Some kind of promotional photo, 1920’s ?
“Hello Senator? I just bought a car only to learn that women aren’t allowed to drive! That’s insane. Whadaya mean – “Then vote for someone who will change the laws” THAT’S NOT FUNNY!!! "
“Hello Travel Agency? I’ve got my hair covered and I’m wearing a dress that reveals nothing of my curves so I think I can survive a trip to Afghanistan now. Whadaya mean “can I read?” Of course I can! Oh. Still not safe then…?"
“Hello Operator? My husband told me to strengthen my grip and technique by practicing with this phone. Otherwise he’d just do the job himself. WHAT’S HE TALKING ABOUT???”
Any woman who ate right and exercised to maintain an attractive figure back then was just wasting their time. I’m guessing that women were in charge of the fashion industry – possibly “larger” women.
My grandpa had one of those 1924 Fords. He only had one leg so he mastered the clutch using his crutch. Throttle was on the steering wheel so he only needed his one leg for the brake pedal. In response to her query…..I be nekkid too…if the wife would let me.xD

I recognize all the items on the desk, AND I used to be a switchboard operator. I must really be old!

That is an office worker, NOT a switchboard operator.

My take: she’s phoning Uber and thanking them for sending over a self-driving car.

Bhahahaa. Comments split between stuff on the desk and her. She needs to up her game to compete with a desk set?

“But the salesman down at ‘Honest John’s Car Lot’ said these cars were so reliable they didn’t NEED a warranty, so why would I buy an extended one?”
