This 1919 Motor Age magazine is chock full of great images, so make sure you checked out Part I.
Perfection Asbestos. Isn’t that redundant? 
But it’s not just ads; Detroit was concerned with safety. 
And they had plans for the car of the future. 
One article discussed autogenous welding in automotive repairs. 
And of course, there are the cars themselves, including this bullet-shaped Fiat.
Thanks for spending some time in the past, in a time before all of us were born.

Good point on the guarantee. Good point on the Fiat. Don’t let a Smart Car get in your way, or they’re toast.

Wow, Bowser really pulls out all the stops–day AND night? Plus they served motorists everywhere, not just in some places.

They actually ran an ad that listed the amount of deaths by automobile accidents. I do not care that it went down so much from the previous year. Whew boy on that one. Last year 25,000 kids died after eating our lead paint chips. This we we cut that in half! I just can’t see it in other industries, Kerbey.

Nope, I guess not. Today we just have commercials about lawsuits for anyone who took last year’s new drug and now has 14 fingers and no hair.
