75 YRS AGO THIS WEEK: The new 1940 Plymouth sports "Sealed Beam Headlamps" a "Floating Powerengine" and is "Superfinished" giving you a "Luxury Ride" at a low price. http://bit.ly/1D074A1.

Some glorious #adspeak (a.k.a. the sort of language used in advertisements, typified by bold claims and optimistic encouragement) from the late ‪#‎1930s at the outbreak of #WWII‬ . Enjoy!

    Loved these old Plymouths, I had to wait until 1942 to buy a car since I was too young.
