Car Brochure Addictさんのイラストまとめ

Here is look at four brochures from the start of Queen Elizabeth's 70-year reign. In those far-off days Britain's car industry was second only to the US in size. The Jowett Javelin, Rover P4, AC Petite and Triumph Mayflower all aimed to give their makers a bright future.

Mazda's first front-wheel-drive 323 (Familia in Japan, GLC in North America) proved an instant success all around the world. The hatchback and saloon typified the angular aerodynamic look of the era. This 1984 brochure is from Australia. #carbrochure #Mazda

@Freewheal Panther did go to a heck of a lot more trouble with their body, though.

@theOlliePickard Me too but presumably Lotus thought it didn't fit their 80s plans.

@HagertyUK Not quite the De Tomaso.

The more powerful 3.4-litre version joined the line-up in early 1957, and is recognisable by its cut-away rear spats. Its engine (also used in the Jaguar Mark VIII) developed 210bhp, making it one of the most desirable medium-sized sporting saloons of the day.

A rather unflattering picture of Signor Pininfarina took pride of place in the brochure. He was a friend of famous Argentinian racing driver Juan Manuel Fangio, who was also involved with bringing the Torino to production and cementing its reputation as Argentina's national car.

@wright_de @BenHooperHants The Rapier was very stylish.

Here's a couple more pages from the Dyane brochure showing some of the smaller incidental pictures, all drawn with great care and humour.

@andi36356 No the artist is not credited. They did other Citroën brochures too, like this 2CV one.
