The 1963 Frigidaire refrigerator ad is refreshing. I'd love to see more of those type ads.

I believe that ad was quite radical and progressive for its day.

1963 Frigidaire ad probably appeared in Ebony magazine. This was about the time when GM/Ford/Chrysler started to advertise to the AA community in a targeted manner. We just had a discussion at work of the appropriate outlets to reach the LGBT community...it was interesting what the corporation felt were the right places and what they actually should be.

Jamie, You are right,
This ad was shown in Ebony and the exact same ad with white people was shown in Life.

After looking at these adverts and remembering a lot of these brand names, such as Sylvania, Sunbeam, etc. All I can say is "How the mighty have fallen!" And in cases such as Admiral it was pretty quick.

I have seen at least one other ad, a really classy beer ad, with the men over for cards or some guy's night activity. There was quite an industry in AA advertising, like films targeted for this specific group. There are some real treasures of advertising and Mid Century lifestyle films with young moderns, moms, children, husbands, etc. There is a Helen Miller, a big name in AA advertising back in the day. Someone cleverer than me, can you find some pictures of the 1957 Chrysler Corporation lineup featuring one lovely model, she appeared with an Imperial Crown, and a Plymouth Belvedere convertible.

Thanks Louis
I remember sooooo many of these ads. My mom and Dad got that Capehart Clock Radio as a Wedding Present in 1951.
I am so glad that I was brought up in that Time Line.

<span style="font-size: medium;">The ads I remember most were from the 70's. I got my first taste of 40's, 50's and 60's advertising when I found huge stacks of vintage Look and Life magazines from those eras. They were left behind in the basement of a house my parents had purchased in 1972. I poured over each and every one of those magazines, surprised that many of the brands and products I knew then existed back in the 40's, LOL. I had them all, intact until 1979. One day coming home from school, I noticed they were all gone! My mother had decided they were taking up to much space in the basement and threw them all out! When I stop to think about all those gorgeous ad's for Lincoln, Sylvania, Westinghouse etc, some of them double page spreads, it still brings a tear to my eye. </span>
