Advertisement, Chevrolet Convertible, "See Kentucky in Your New 1962 Chevrolet" Horse Country Scene, Original Magazine Ad, USA, 1962

A 1962 Chevy convertible, horse riders, Lassie in the back seat, and a Kentucky car dealer with a sense of place.

This extraordinary three-color advertisement for Almond Cooke's Broadway Chevrolet in Kentucky is one of the most locally specific — and charming — automobile ads you'll find. The 1962 Chevrolet convertible is shown against a Kentucky horse country backdrop with riders in frame, contrasted against a 1911 Chevrolet illustration below. Look closely and you'll spot Lassie in the back seat. The reverse carries a full-page map of Kentucky Horse Farms, "Where the Race Horses Roam" — making this double-sided page a genuine piece of Kentucky automotive and equestrian history.

A wonderful piece for a Kentucky home, equestrian space, or vintage automobile collection. An exceptional gift for Chevrolet collectors, Kentucky history enthusiasts, or anyone with deep roots in the Bluegrass State.
