I thought this may be of interest to folks, at least I have never seen it before.

Here's a 1957 Johnson outboard motor ad with an over-the-stern shot of a Lone Star Meteor, looking back at a skier. I guessed Lone Star Meteor from the tail-fins and lights at the top of the fins. Also a guess, this ad is likely from the 1957 July or June issue of Boats magazine (the E-bay seller has several ads from these issues posted).

Products had style back then. Can't say the same today. Great ad. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
