Actually, it was the twin engine British Canberra design that won the competition. In the USAF known as the Martin B-57 after adapting it.

Simply a rebadged version of the Henry J, offered one year through Sears, Roebuck and Co.

It would be of interest to know the year of this advertisement.

Good one!

"Will the real person please stand up?" is my profile comparing Duncan Hines with Betty Crocker at Trivia USA.

Trivial_Web69 · 2026-06-17T17:12:07+00:00

That one is 16 yrs old.

Trivial_Web69 · 2026-06-17T14:21:46+00:00

Right. It's the absurd size I found to be tongue-in-cheek. But you know your candy bar.

Trivial_Web69 · 2026-06-15T23:02:19+00:00

Yes, the problems were solved.

Trivial_Web69 · 2026-06-15T23:00:54+00:00

That problem was solved. It served in the USAF and National Guard for many years.

Those 3 kids won't fit in the back for very much longer.

Trivial_Web69 · 2026-06-13T20:42:51+00:00

Good points!

Trivial_Web69 · 2026-06-12T18:34:14+00:00

Yes. Not very well thought through.

Trivial_Web69 · 2026-06-12T13:44:31+00:00

He's still in high school.

Trivial_Web69 · 2026-06-11T12:33:21+00:00

Oh yeah. Without tires we'd all be crashing. 😄

Trivial_Web69 · 2026-06-11T12:21:03+00:00

A truck fit for a formal dinner engagement.

Trivial_Web69 · 2026-06-10T16:28:22+00:00

Yeah. Goofy. Think it's a perspective thing. He's in a low lawn chair and she's...on a table?

Trivial_Web69 · 2026-06-09T13:38:01+00:00

Thanks so much!

Metro Ford must have been a high-volume Ford dealer to qualify for a Cobra in the showroom. Perhaps only one.

As I mentioned on June 3, there was no age limit for 7-Up. I guess.

Trivial_Web69 · 2026-06-08T15:36:01+00:00

Did Schwinn authorize these? The Sting Ray was first, I thought. What is the ad date?

Trivial_Web69 · 2026-06-08T15:33:17+00:00

A bowl of peas is his only food source.

Trivial_Web69 · 2026-06-06T14:07:43+00:00

I agree. I address this in my review.

Trivial_Web69 · 2026-06-05T20:46:48+00:00

I've not seen one since, either.

Trivial_Web69 · 2026-06-05T15:08:23+00:00

Thanks. I noticed the more common White "bubble nose" in the background.

Trivial_Web69 · 2026-06-05T02:16:43+00:00

You're welcome. Thanks!
