Caption this: Moments before a mauling next to your shiny 1930 Ford

By Eric Rood Apr 5, 2017


Nothing says “Gerald, that’s a bad idea” like luring a young bear in the wilderness next to your Ford Sport Coupe, new for 1930! I’m no wildlife expert, but I’m pretty sure I know what’s about to happen here. We’re not exactly sure how this is going to sell cars—the ad copy (after the jump)—doesn’t address bear maulings, but maybe there’s some lost-to-time market research value in this.

  1. “Just a little closer Fred!” Ethyl was about to be rid of her bothersome husband and she would get to drive the Ford all the time now!

  2. The allure of the 1930 Ford was strong, with minimal drawbacks, contrasting sharply against the allure of a bear cub.

  3. Today’s modern woman will find new freedom in an automobile so well engineered that they can easily drive without assistance.

  4. Disguised as bears Big Boy, Bookie Joe and their henchmen attempt to ambush Dick Tracy and Tess Trueheart.

  5. “All I remember before it happened was my wife yelling ‘HONEY! HONEY!’ and then the attack started”.

  6. ford certainly did his part to remove the ignorant from the gene pool. almost like hand feeding sharks.
