Hey Tony,
you wouldn't happen to have any Johnny Bolton Ford advertising from back in the day? My car came out of Maitland, Florida in 68 and I'd sure love so add some print ad material to my document book.

IMO, that is one of the best teaser ads of all time.
Don Draper would be proud.

Phillip thanks for sharing !
^^^ I love vintage advertising!
And you wonder why most people think all '67s came with Lemans stripes ;D

Ok, now allow me some self indulgence -
This is a pretty darn rare piece from my collection, an original XR7-G showroom poster.
These things measure a huge 48" x 36".

Phillip, were those lace wheels used in production or just on the promotion car in the ads?
They were planned for production and used on the early G's, but then recalled due to manufacturing flaws and leaks and replaced with regular chrome '68 Cougar Styled Steel Wheels.
My G came with them and I have a set which I am going to restore.

Interesting reading in the AO smith letter. Those Radar wheels sound like they were poorly engineered or manufactured.
Something you would only use for display purposes, never to be driven on. Thanks for sharing the letter Philip

Richstang - yes, the Raders have an interesting history, starting with Mickey Thompson, that I won't go into here. Though mine were in use on a vehicle until recently, I wouldn't use them for any extended/highway speed trips.

I'm sure most of us would love to have a crack at all those parts an bargain basement prices.
The "COUGAR" lettered valve covers & oil pan must be highly sought after these days.
Yeah, they obviously only made a handful of those "COUGAR" oil pans.
Love this ad too - perhaps Gurney had them use a Cougar as a jab at Ford for not running his heads on the TA Cougars like he wanted to.

If you had bought ten of each, where would you have stored them for fifty years?
Where I stored everything else - mom's house!
That stuff wouldn't take up much room -
I honestly don't think they even cast 10 of those oil pans.

Very classy Castrol ad with wonderful Cobra artwork.

Mom called, she said Fred Sanford gave her a really good deal on all that junk you left there. He gave just what you paid for it, so you didn't lose any money? :D

Here's a pic from the February 1968 issue of Playboy.
The article (I only get them for the articles) was called "Sporty and Special" and was about the "handsome, hairy and ball to drive" new cars for '68.

We are probably not going to the number of the Gold convertible, but it looks like the Marchal stands are a little taller and the shifter handle is black
I think the Marchal stands are reflecting in the paint and just appear to be taller.
Hmm, I could be convinced

Bought this issue of the news stand while a college student. A couple bucks was a trivial amount at that time in my life. Dinner often consisted of a 33 cent generic box of Mac & Cheese. If finals week wrapped up, I tossed in Jenie-O turkey franks.
I still have this issue BTW. Tattered from being read over and over while I was convincing myself staying in school was a worthwhile endeavor.
I still have that issue also -

Phillip,
These are really neat photos of the Shelby, Torino, and Cougar found in that old Playboy. I wouldn't have thought a scan out of an old issue could look that good. You must have cleaned tidied them up quite a bit!
This Cougar looks sharp in the GT-E option with the blue paint, silver accent, and redline tires. what a great combo of details.
+! on the great looking Cougar GT-E!
Was that a production color scheme?
The GT-E pictured in the Feb. '68 Playboy is of course a pre-production show unit. It seems it was the one and only GT-E produced with the redline tires.
GT-Es came with a choice of 11 upper body colors; Onyx, Cardinal Red, Wellington Blue, Black Cherry, Glacier Blue, Madras Blue, Caribbean Blue, Augusta Green, Lime Frost, Grecian Gold and Nordic Blue - with unique body side moldings and silver gray argent below the molding.
The Playboy GT-E looks to be Madras Blue Poly.
Thanks for the compliments on my scans. I scan a lot for my business. I don't have too much time to lavish over what I post on the car forums, just get rid of dust and some creases and adjust color and tone and set levels.
- Phillip
Here is a closeup of the Shelby -

Thanks for the added info Philip.
Too bad the redlines weren't used in regular production they add an additional wow factor.

I'm guessing that this is a Sunlit Gold convertible, and the color is a bit off from a combination the print process and maybe the photo being take at dusk.
The grille light pedestal stand do appear very tall, it could be the reflections, but are the lens bodies sitting a bit higher?
Before I put the Playboy away, here is the ad that Shelby ran in this issue.

That GT500 looks just like I wanted to order back then. I actually filled out an order form but got to thinking about either a community college or the University of Vietnam and decided I couldn't afford it either way so I didn't send in the order >:(
