Motoring Magazine and Motor Life, 1913, and available online to read at your leisure
I enjoy reflecting on the cars of 100 years ago, it's amazing that they were all simple enough for a gearhead like me to work on, repair, or improve on.
What do you make of the above tire covers? A primitive retread? And that company name, Leather Tire Goods... what leather tire goods did they make?
I think I've pointed out several times that roads were so bad that tires were lucky to last a couple thousand miles, just last week I found a photo of a the "3000 mile club" tires that were amazing enough to get that kind of recognition.
the above is a Winton

I just thought you might enjoy this Fabio wallpaper
W+K is now scraping the bottom of the barrel to get attention for Old Spice, casting Fabio in a series of inane commercials. The real irony is that the commercials were probably never remotely as succesfuly as they were claimed to be - - they just happened to coincide with a coupon that was very useful to coupon ninjas.

Clever/Irritating advertisements for Antique Roadshow
"To promote a new season of Antiques Roadshow on Prime TV, DRAFTFCB Auckland took to the streets, placing price tags on numerous objects that could well be considered an antique in the future. From shopping trollies and picnic benches, to cars and arcade machines, all objects were labeled with prices far greater than their current value." Via.
