Vintage Advertisement and Imagination on Wheels in Italy from the 1950s and 1960s

At one point in the history of Italian advertisement, huge cutouts in the shape of bottles and canned meat started appearing on car roofs; there were shoes and tubes of toothpaste, odd torpedoes, and sharks. They were the “advertisement vehicles” that invaded Italian streets in the 1950s and 1960s, to promote the widest possible range of products in the country's post-war economy on the verge of its boom.
