There is a chain of restaurants in California, Oregon, and Nevada 
called Black Bear Diners.  Their menus are recreations of old 
newspapers from the towns where the restaurants are located.  The 
outside has articles and ads and the inside has the menu.  I had a 
chance to eat at the location in Rohnert Park, CA this last weekend 
and thought you might be interested in one of the ads.  Apparently 
this ran in the paper back in 1961.

English Ford Anglia $1295

Smart, new, fun to drive...saucy new ANGLIA!  Superb British 
craftsmanship - built to last.  Advanced power plant for brilliant 
performance.  4-speed sports-type gearshift for nimble control.  
Stretch space for four.  Bigger trunk.  Side windows that open.  Full 
dashboard instruments.  Extra-wide doors.  Choice of 12 colors.  Best 
of all, thrifty!  Up to 40 miles per gallon.  See the world's most 
exciting fun car today


I have to admit the first time I read this I thought it said "nimbus 
control".  No mention of invisibility boosters though.
