Something for smokers to think about.
This ad, as much as any other, exemplifies the shift in times. Can you imagine an ad with this much text these days? It’s part of why newspapers are dying - we shudder when we see a big block of words. A lot of ads - think Absolut, Disaronno, etc - don’t even have words these days. Our attention spans can’t take it.

Once you get past the fact that the dark haired fellow is the real-life model for Marco Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar Gabriel Garcia Marquez, this is actually kind of a cool ad.

This is awesome. The product is the least interesting part of the ad.

Fiat. Selling themselves with a value pitch. A poor job of scanning, I know. I tried.
