I love all those old ads - they always showed a very stylised view of the car, and the "owners" were always minituarised, so that the car would look bigger than it actually was.

While we're on the topic, I was looking through a Motor Sport from Feb 1953 the other day and available for purchase were:

Bugatti Brescia £225
Bentley 3-litre Red Label £250
Riley Imp - ex works team car £450
Rolls Royce Phantom 1 Sedanca £245

etc etc
