Vintage Mazda Ads- part 2

Edison Mazda - a day before my birthday!

That’s right, more Mazda ads! A continuation from my first Mazda ad post.

I held back about half of my ad collection from my first post of 13. It just seemed like 26 ads would be too many to post at once. And I kinda wanted to get a second blog post out of it anyway. Then, an awesome guy named Claudio sent me another half dozen after I put that first post up. So, I have 20 to share today.

And there are some good ones.

And that’s it! That’s my collection of Mazda ads. Got a favorite? I’ve gotta say, that Mazda 1500 ad is doing it for me. The field, the 70s colors, the ad copy. Love it.

Not that the sunburned guy isn’t totally sweet.

    I’m a bit confused. You do know that the Mazda light bulbs have nothing to do with Toyo Kogyo – Mazda cars, right? Completely different company.

    Hey Adam, do you mind rescanning the 97M poster and sending it over to me, if thats not too big of a hassle? Thanks a lot man! 🙂

      Sorry, but it’s not my scan. That one came from the dark corners of the intartoobz. =(

      It’s a beauty, isn’t it? Very nostalgic. I wish I had a better copy of it.

      • Gleb Dorro says:

        Yes indeed! Ive been looking for them for a while, read somewhere that there were 2 posters/adverts for the 97M, Im guessing this is the 2nd one 🙂

        Anyways, best and warmest wishes to you and your family this holiday season! (Sharka is included in that wish – family! 🙂

        Enjoy!
