The streets of San Francisco

With a view of the San Francisco Bay Bridge in the distance, the couple in their 1963 Chevrolet Impala meet a Van Ness Avenue cable car as they breast one of the city’s numerous steep hills.

 

Some wonderful prose outlines the car’s qualities: “most comfortable thing since grandmother’s lap”, “this new Chevrolet is the doggondest collection of automotive virtues ever assembled under one nameplate”.

 

Ye gods, just how many lunchtime martinis did the Madison Avenue exec who cooked up this copy need to quaff?
