Adrian@TORQEN Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Different times mean different standards, but it's still shocking to see how blatantly sexist the car industry's ads were right up until the last two decades. 10) Hurst Dual Gate Transmission The message is clear here. Not only will your woman appreciate that you went for the automatic instead of the performance-oriented four-speed stick, you will also have a personal key that can prevent her from using the "competition gate." Nice touch! 9) Goodyear: No Man Around Changing tires is not an easy job on the side of the road, but that doesn't mean a woman can't handle the situation. Goodyear of the sixties disagreed.P This makes me wonder just how well these early run-flat tires worked in practice? 8) The Subaru GL Coupe Subaru went as far as picturing the front-wheel drive sport coupe as a "spirited woman". Comparing women to cars has always been a risky business, and this is really far from being flattering. 7) Goodyear Polyglass Well, it seems like Goodyear tires are on fire today! 6) Mini Automatic Simple pleasures from Mini. Also, a pint for me and a glass of white wine for the lady. 5) Volkswagen Parking Assist A sexist ad from ages ago is not that shocking since that's just how things were back then. But this Golf advertisement is not old enough to fall into that category. Bad point for Wolfsburg there. 4) Cadillac In a Cadillac, women can only be passengers: One of the special delights which ladies find in Cadillac ownership is the pleasure of being a passenger. First of all, there is the sheer physical luxury of riding in a new Cadillac. The car is wondrously spacious and comfortable - and perfectly proportioned for complete freedom of movement. Then there is the enchanting interior beauty...the marvellous convenience of it's appointments...the great smoothness of ride...and the marvellous quietness of operation. We invite you to visit your local dealer soon...with the man of the house - and spend an hour in the passenger seat of a 1959 Cadillac. We know you will agree that it is the world's nicest place to sit. 3) Leyland's Vital Statistics Anne Aston's boobs or the vans? Both, according to British Leyland! 2) 1964 Buick Riviera The 1964 Buick Riviera is not only a big adventure, but also a car that "only a man can really understand" 1) Dodge's Eternal Triangle Your Charger R/T now comes with submissive lady friends as standard!
