TOPIC: Lone Star Meteor in 1957 Johnson Ad

I thought this may be of interest to folks, at least I have never seen it before.

Here's a 1957 Johnson outboard motor ad with an over-the-stern shot of a Lone Star Meteor, looking back at a skier. I guessed Lone Star Meteor from the tail-fins and lights at the top of the fins. Also a guess, this ad is likely from the 1957 July or June issue of Boats magazine (the E-bay seller has several ads from these issues posted).

There's something to be said for the old advertisers. They just really knew how to make a product appealing. Products had style back then. Can't say the same today.

Great ad.

Coolio. I have about 4 of those 1957 Johnson 35 HP motors. I actually have all but the 10 HP of the various models made that year by Johnson: 35, 18, 10, 7.5, 5.5, 3 HP. Great styling !
