You are right about it being marketed towards rich women who want luxuries that shield them from the everyday hum-drum stuff. I never bought a car to escape the world around me, rather to help live it. My car had to have a roof rack to hold things like bicycles and canoes. It had to have a trailer hitch to pull the sailboat. It needed a hatch-back to hold lots of camping gear, or the latest antique treasure purchase, or the groceries or our music instruments and the kid’s sports equipment. It had to have top safety ratings and room to haul 3 kids on our adventures. Needless to say, when the day came that 4-wheel drive was available and by then we could afford it was a plus And back in the day, it had to have a radio to listen to Rush Limbaugh while I ran errands and carpools.
Hahaha. Great images.
Don’t tell me it was a Suburu.

The commercials back in the 50s and 60s were almost all for cigarettes. Talk about a campaign to make you think it was healthy to smoke.
I was watching the Quiet Man last night. They were whiting out the cigarette and pipe smoking!!! Crazy, because you can still tell they’re smoking.
