Advertising ads that time were often hand drawn.
Captive slogans in this ad from Sørensen and Balchens:
Big car for less money
It only costs Nkr. 17,600 ... There was a lot of money even for a car at the time.
In 1960, the annual income was 14,709 Nkroner.
For example. You bought a house with a few years on the neck for about $ 35,000, and up.
Buying a new car in 1960, there were not many who managed to earn their income, it was more important to have food on the table and cover their heads. In 1960 I was 6 years old and remember that there were many horses with wagons in the streets.
See this year's dream car from Ford:
Taunus 17M and 12M Super from Fredrikstad Automobile Business.
They stayed in Mosseveien 3. with large business premises, own workshop and BP gas station.
Volvo Amazon "Car for the discerning"
From Østfold Motor Comp. AS - Fredrikstad
The Amazon had lived for many years and became a used car we guys bought as a youth car afterwards. That time we could drive across and cross the city of Fredrikstad. And we guys cruised in the evenings. Stopped often at the hot dog Svendsen "Nikken" Nygaards gate.
