1957 Chevrolet
I was born a train guy. I became a car guy around the age of 10, but I never really stopped being a train guy. I don’t know anything about trains, but I love them, and I usually consider myself lucky when I am stopped at a railroad crossing within easy view of the passing rail cars.
I think my story is similar to that of a lot of car people. Cars, ultimately, are things we can own and operate, and trains are not. I think it’s that simple. Of course, an awful lot of car guys are also into watches, guitars, and planes… all cool things, and all more accessible—even the planes—than a train.
But whether it is hobbyist interest or the implied romance of travel (probably both), carmakers have been linking cars and trains in advertising for a very long time. I have proof of that here. Below please find 14 classic car ads, each of which features a train or train station.
Any thoughts on the ads? Please share them below.
