Get in the back baby - Lets take a ride

I love old advertisements.

They're wonderful to look at and this one is from a much more civilized era. Gloves, hats, ties and men sat in the back. Apparently he simply swung in and stretched out. This car was all about the roominess. 

Not the miles to the gallon, not the engine, not the safe tires or the fact that it was a lovely mint green but it's appeal was in the ability to ride with your briefcase or your friends beside you!

When I'm looking for a new car it's all about whether I can fit the car seats in - so maybe they were actually onto something back in 1959!
