'Ford Trucks for '70' Newspaper advertising layouts posted

Post by FORDification »

Some time ago, Mark (4x4x4crewcab) and I accidentally ended up bidding against each other on a vintage factory newspaper advertising layout book on E-bay. He ended up winning it, but made me some copies of the content. I've been meaning to get those scanned and posted, but then recently I was able to find another copy of it as well. Anyway, I've been slowly working on getting everything in the book scanned and posted, even though including the entire contents of the book meant including scans of the medium and heavy-duty trucks, as well as the Bronco, Ranchero and Econoline vans. I decided to include these as well as the light-duty F-series trucks, just because they were so neat....and I figured there'd be a lot of folks interested in checking them out, and maybe saving them to use for art projects, websites, etc.

This is definitely something worth checking out! There are a total of 34 scans on the page below, all with some very cool line-art of the '70 Ford truck offerings. Most are black-and-white, though there ARE a few 2-color pieces.

As time allowed, I've been scanning one or two pages here and there, and decided to get everything posted here tonight as a Christmas present to you all. :D

They look good Keith. Now it would be real cool if someone could find a old newspaper ad that used one of these layouts. Good Job Keith
this place just keeps getting better.
P.S. I know your busy but if and when you get to it the F100/350 Fact Book pages would be another great addition.
