The 'sit-up-and-beg' Anglia was replaced in 1953 by the far more modern Anglia 100E, but Ford took the opportunity to create the new Popular model. This used the old body and was billed as 'the lowest-priced car in the world'. It had an 1172cc version of the side-valve engine.
@Belinda34106799 I remember it well. The artwork reminds me of the style of this Citroën 2CV brochure from a couple of years later.
This 1986 UK brochure called the 5 GT Turbo 'the ultimate in Performance, Roadholding and Safety' and Renault was very proud of the turbocharged engine's capabilities and economy. Inside the car aimed to beat rival hot hatches with an impressive instrument display.
In Simca's heyday it would become one of France's big four carmakers, but the marque had humble beginnings, being founded in 1935 as the French arm of Fiat. The 1946 Simca 8 shown in this charmingly-drawn leaflet was little more than a French-built Fiat 508C. #carbrochure #Simca
The relationship between GM's Australian and South African divisions was decades-old, and blossomed anew in the post-apartheid era. This 2003 brochure features the Chevrolet Lumina, a 3.8 V6 or 5.7 V8 export version of the Holden Commodore VY. #carbrochure #Chevrolet
The Maranello 4Cycle was marketed in Italy with the slogan 'My Red, My Way'. Features of the design included two-tone paint, suicide doors and a curious pair of triangular rear windows on each side. Red (Rosso Sharm) was one of six geographically-themed colour names.
Covering all bases, there was also the truck-like ARO 33 range, aimed at commercial operators. These late-model ARO models used 2.5TDi engines supplied by Polish manufacturer Andoria.
The ZR was one of a trio of new MG models hastily developed from the existing Rover range after the company split from BMW, and was a sister to the 25. This 2004 brochure shows the model's last-ditch facelift, which included a revised nose and interior changes. #carbrochure #MG
Named after the 75th anniversary of the foundation of Alfa Romeo, the Alfa 75 continued the wedge-shaped theme of its Giulietta predecessor and shared its floorpan and many components. This 1985 brochure in French unusually features a drawing of the car. #carbrochure #AlfaRomeo
Succeeding the original Toyota Corolla in 1970, the mk2 model had adapted the winning formula but made the car's dimensions slightly bigger. This rather strange Australian brochure features an 'investigative journalist' discovering rumours of the death of the Corolla are untrue.
