LIFE, 1949 (exact date unknown).
1949 model. Air conditioned, all-metal construction, 6.5 feet wide and shoulder high, with enough room inside for the seats to fold down into a double bed. And it got 25 MPG, under ideal conditions. Let's compare that to a Hummer, circa 2009, doing maybe 20 MPG ...
We don't *deserve* jetpacks.
Well, my mother gave me two copies of Good Housekeeping from 1934 - April and September. Quite of the few of the ads have already been scanned and posted in this community. I don't remember seeing this one, though. It's quite colourful, is it not? I always enjoy an anthropomorphized animal.
