1955 Thunderbird Ad Copy - J Walter Thompson Ad Agency

This original ad copy was created by the J Walter Thompson Ad agency for Ford Motor Company's Marketing Department. It is different from the print ad found in a publication because:

The sizing and colors are as created and not subject to the publication's printing variances.
The Ad copy indicates what magazines ran the Ad and the circulation of the Ad – this data is not available anywhere else
Many of the ads in this collection were run in obscure magazines or brochures and now not available 50 yrs later since the magazine/periodical run was small.

The 1955 Thunderbird was a game-changing bombshell when introduced. Roll up windows and all other big car options in a sports car package - things Corvette eschewed.
