the new "Self-Starter"

[Dan Brintlinger]

I just received my "Self-Starter", this month's issue remembers the 1962 Cadillac, including one page of pro-car photos.......but I think the M/M ambulance photo has been airbrushed from a previous year's model. Has anyone else noticed this?

looks like it may be right to me, but here is a scan of the page for others to give there opinion.

Dan...this is artwork straight from 1962 Miller-Meteor advertising and, you're probably right, it was most likely airbrushed to up-date it from a 1961 image. Good art nonetheless. Thanks for posting this.

You don't see artwork like this anymore....I think it went out in the late 70,s, early 80,s....it's too bad really because I think that the artwork really sold the vehicles!!!

The air brushing was common practice on much of the professional car and limousine builders literature for many years....most prevalent on model year changes with only minor changes, I can show you numerous examples some really poor attempts. Love the old sales literature items........
