'56 Chevrolet Station Wagon Magazine Ad

SEATS A WHOLE BASEBALL TEAM BEAUTIFULLY !
What a nice and strong way to tell a seating story. No background but no need for a background in the illustration. Has all the warmth and feeling for America that Chevy was becoming known for. It would be quite a few years before baseball would become the theme for perhaps the most famous car commercial of all time. I think this illustration may have been by Charles Allen. A nine passenger wagon that looked this good and had a Chevrolet price was something pretty special back then and if you have one now it is still pretty special and worth a ton.

this advert is Stan Galli's job. You can see his signature under the catcher's right foot.
