This week’s old-timey ad image contains not one car, but three differently outfitted 1954 Lincolns, skillfully chosen to show the car’s multi-faceted something-or-other. Or perhaps, they just happened to parked next to each other. What the ad men wished to convey is immaterial, of course, because what we’re interested in is what you make of all this — or more accurately, what witty thing you can make of it. Leave a comment, a narrative, a song parody, or even a photoshopped image below. You might achieve fame, fortune, and a minor mention in next week’s installment.

Speaking of winners, last week’s highest vote-getter was 0A5599, who provided this backstory on our Nova’s two personalities: “Nancy went out to San Francisco in that Summer of Love, and returned as a changed person. She developed a fondness for LSD – limited slip differentials.” Right behind him was irishzombieman, who explained the situation this way: “Tina walked right up to the driver’s side, dressed like a bouquet of wildflowers in a sunny summer meadow, and leaned on the car like she owned it. She pulled it off so well that even the Nova’s owner talked to her long enough for Gina, on the far side, to siphon off enough gas to fill their 5-gallon jerry can.”
Both very clever quips, indeed! Notice that they mined their humor from applying automotive or cultural references to specific visual elements of the image. And that, gentlemen, is how it’s done if you long to gather many upvotes unto the bosom of your Disqus account.
