The Ladies Dig Turbo Rocket Fluid: 1962 Oldsmobile Jetfire [Classic Ad Watch]

The 1962 Olds Jetfire was the first American production car to get a turbocharged V8, and it produced 215 horsepower out of its 215-cubic-inch aluminum V8 (yes, the same engine family that became the Rover V8). Here we see an Olds-drivin' stud getting his lady friend in the mood by stomping on the go pedal and sending the boost gauge into happy territory. Just don't run out of "Turbo Rocket Fluid," which later generations came to know as "water and methanol." Thanks to SOS10 for the tip!

The Citroën XM Pallas Braves Earthquakes, Wild Horses, Raging Lava Torrents! [Classic Ad Watch]

The best ads tell a story, and this one for the mid-90s Citroën XM Pallas certainly does that. In fact, it's more of an informercial than an regular car ad, with inspiring music right out of an Early Dot-Com Era shareholder's meeting. Best as we can tell, the Citroën driver here is bringing a box containing a critical mass of our favorite off-brand fissionable material, Uranium 233 (cast in a ring shape, of course, to avoid troublesome criticality events in the back seat) to the local warlord's headquarters in a Damnation Alley-esque post-disaster world.
