Saab
1961 Saab - Black and white 10" x 13 3/4" ad that talks about the value of owning a 1961 Saab. Pictured in this ad is a Saab being held by the world's biggest micrometer as the caption says "Why Saab uses structural steel heavy and safe as cars costing $5,000 or more!". The ad then tells us that "The Swedish SAAB was expressly designed to be the safest family compact on the road. Heavier steel was used in the entire framework, to literally forge a wall-of-steel protection around you and your family. (That's why the SAAB weighs 100-300 pounds more than cars of comparable size.) SAAB has other impressive safety features: It does not shake or sway even at turnpike speeds of more than 70 miles per hour; its Front Wheel Drive gives you more responsive, safer steering; and its motor has greater acceleration than the usual imported compact which allows safer passing on highways. This remarkable motor, which has only seven basic moving parts, commonly goes 100,000 miles without major overhaul! All these extra benefits come to you in a trim, handsomely-styled 5-passenger car that gives you 30-35 miles per gallon". The text goes on, indicating that the Saab was a car to consider.

The picture shows a Light-Colored SImca parked next to a gas pump where the attendant, dressed as if he was French, stands holding the gas nozzle and paying no attention to the lady in the Simca. The headline warns that "In Paris a gallon of gas costs 74 cents" which was twice what it was in the U.S.. Bring back the old days. So, in theiry, the French drivers must go twice as far to pay as little as we did and the claim is made in the ad, so many of them drive Simcas. Testing in the U.S. revealed that an average gas mileage for this car was 38.058 which figured out to be less than 1 cent per mile.

Simca
1967 Simca - Black and white 10" x 13 1/2" ad that shows a mother and a father, eight kids and a dog standing in their driveway behind two Simca's, one new and shiny and the other is just a little bit worn. The headline for this ad is that "Some families couldn't swing two cars if it weren't for Simca". The ad says that you could buy a Simca for $1639 per month, or two for $3275. After the price the second point that was most appealing was the 5 year / 50,000 mile warranty. This doesn't include the fact that both of these cars were 4 doors, not 2 like so many of the cars that had a tolerablely low price. The whole things settles down to the bottom headline, "Simca: the tough 5/50 economy car from the Chrysler people".

Simca
1967 Simca - Black and white 10" x 14" ad that has a piccture of a mother holding a shopping bag and her two children standing behind a Simca that is supposed to be theirs. The ad headline says that this car is "Warranted for 5 years or 50,000 miles of milk runs, PTA and music lessons". The text mentions that the kind of driving done by a mother "is the hardest there is on a car". But a Simca handles this kind of driving because it is backed by an engine and drive train warranty good for 5 years or 50,000 miles. The car only costs $1639 which, when you filter in the 52 hp, sounds kind of high.

Now it has risen again into a economical family car with a racer's heart.
