The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit

When you think of Valentine’s Day you think about chocolates and flowers, right?  Well I don’t.  No sir, I think tires!  And I’m not the only one, if this 1952 ad for General Tire (from The Saturday Evening Post) is any indication.

So fellas, if you’re still stuck for V-Day ideas and it’s zero hour, consider a set of these beauties for the lady in your life.  Just don’t be surprised if she tries to run you down after they’re installed.
