I always enjoy Gene's articles, but especially this one about auto ads and graphics. It reminded me of when I was very young and Chrysler brought their mid 60s turbine car to a local dealer in Kingston Ontario. My dad and I went down to see it and I -- like Gene, a fan of cars and car ads -- was almost drooling at the sight.

Enjoy.

I too was suckered in to this line of work by the super-slick super-glossy ads and catalogs produced by the auto companies. I'm a few years younger than Gene, by virtue of the fact that I don't remember the big roll outs every fall (at least I was very young when that went on), but it was the car ads and catalogs that did it for me, too. There was a big difference between the worlds in the car ads and the one I was living in. I definitely wanted to live in "car ad" world. It looked a lot better than my world...
