Vintage Model A Ford Christmas Magazine Ads
Out of hundreds of examples of published magazine ads for the Model A only three had an obvious Holiday theme. These examples show how Ford used familiar Christmas settings to help market the Model A during Christmas of 1930.
But watch it soon because like the tree in the living room these ads may go back into storage until next year.
Thanks to all the good little girls and boys who have watched our videos. We wish all of you a very happy and healthy Holiday.
We reserve the right to moderate comments that we feel fall outside of the scope of the Model A hobby.

Two grainy photographs. That's all we have to go by when talking about this curiosity of the Model A's. What we do know is that in March of 1931 two St. Louis, MO newspapers published very short pieces on this supposed new offering in the Ford commercial line. Was it a prototype? Maybe a pre-cursor to the Deluxe Pickup? A custom one-off done by a Ford dealer trying to attract attention? We may ...

    4:08. Henry had the blacks in the casting area because it was hotter than hell, and they were just happy to have a decent job. These kinds of jobs are what helped catapult blacks from the domestic and sharecropper class into the working and even middle class.

    I'm impressed. I thought those "Buy car for Christmas" ads were of a much more recent vintage. I dumped TV 4 years ago, but the latest I remember are those Mercedes ones with Santa and the White Lexuses with the big red bows. The dealers were still swinging for the fences with those ads in 1931. I guess some people had the cash for new wheels. My guess is any Christmas purchase most likely was the customer was going to get a new car regardless and just deferred it to Christmas.

    • @AModelA
      @AModelA 12 วันที่ผ่านมา

      If you didn't already pause the ad at the 4:18 mark, the first one from 1931. It talks about the benefits of buying a car before January 1st 1932. Those dealers were already having a hard time selling cars and they knew the B and V8 were coming soon. They were desperate to clear out their stock. Thanks for watching!

    I was mentioning to a friend that having been born in the mid ‘50s I observed that cars in my youth came with hubcaps and with optional wheel covers but today even many “economy cars” often come with aluminum wheels. I used my high school graduation money, back in ‘73, to buy a pair of Cragar SS chromed 5 spoke wheels for the rear wheels of my ‘69 Nova but kids today have cars with wheels from the factory that my friends and I would’ve loved to have had back then. Even the wheels that I bought and had my snow tires for my VW Jetta SportWagen to be mounted on are aluminum because they were only a few dollars more than plain steel wheels.
