WWII & General Motors…
The more research I do on the P-40 Warhawk theme of the Rat Rod…
…the more really cool stuff I find.
The more I find, the more I learn…
…about this great country of ours.
I knew that domestic automobile production ceased in 1942…
…and the factories geared up for military production.
I did not know about these really cool ads!
(click on the pic for a larger view)
Check out this Cadillac ad for the Curtiss P-40.
How about these Buick Ads?
Battle Song of the Liberators
She’s got four “B’s” in her Bonnets!
ALL WORK and no “PLAY”
…it wasn’t all aircraft.
THE HELLCATS ARE ON THE PROWL
BUICK Builds The HELLCAT
The Oil Companies got into the act as well.
THEY FOUND 90 extra miles an hour IN A DROP OF OIL
Pretty cool ads, huh?
It never ceases to amaze me how great this generation of Americans is.
Really.
These people not only built our country, they protected it as well!
And, they did an excellent job!
We owe this generation everything.
I for one am grateful.
Thank you!
