“The greatest problem of being a legend is how to live up to it.” Thunderbird is handling its fame as gracefully as it can.

This original 1972 Ford advertisement presents the car in an autumn-toned scene with an interior inset highlighting luxury and comfort. A lovely piece for someone who enjoys the grander end of automotive marketing. The page manages to make buying a car sound like inheriting a considerable public responsibility.

THE DETAILS:

• Original period magazine page, sold unframed.
• Approximate size: 10 × 13 inches; portrait orientation.

Condition: Vintage paper may show age toning and minor handling wear; please review the photos for this item's specific condition.

I carefully trim each page, place it in a protective sleeve with a sturdy backing board, and pack it with bubble wrap in a sturdy box. You’ll receive the original page shown in the photos, not a reproduction.

Framing: Vintage magazine sizes vary. Use the measurement-mat photo as a size reference, and choose a larger frame with a mat cut to fit this particular page.

I white-balance the photos to show the original colors as accurately as possible. Colors can still vary with your screen settings.
