Hi Everyone,

Here are a few vintage newspaper ads from Nall Chevrolet in Iowa City, Iowa from 1930 to 1946. These all appear in my last blog post in case anyone would like some commentary. Otherwise, here's the good stuff.

The mention in the '36 ad to a featured "Soild Steel one piece Turret Top" is classic advertizing hype.

LOL, I would think those would have been a hard 125K on a lot of dirt roads. Maybe the engine rings & bearings were original but I'll bet a few front end parts didn't last as long. How many miles would you be able to wring out of a set of bias-ply tires and/or tubes back then?
