In my American Gov. class we had three WW II Vets talk to us about life "back in the day" they brought LIFE magazines that were released back then. I was cruisin through a couple of course looking for old Ford ads didnt come across any but did come across a BFG ad.







BFG and MICHELIN were used on various vehicles in the army at the time. The issue was dated, December 20, 1943. A year subscription was $4.50 keep in mind this is LIFE magazine!

I have utmost respect for Veterans and POW. Hearing from a POW in person was incredible, 42 months captive started at just over 200 lbs left at barely over 100 lbs.

 

that is why i choose BF Goodrich i have had them on my truck the only other set i had was pirreli scorpions they where ok but nothing compares to bfgs!

 

I have michelins

 

love me some BFGs

 

I'd have KM2's if I could have afforded them at the time. Or now,for that matter haha

 

Michelin was also one of the companies, along with Standard Oil to remove the functional public transit system and force the creation of the freeway system in California. They bought properties, train stations and subways and destroyed them, walled them in and filled them with concrete. Good way to promote your tire and gasoline business. Take away the alternative. Many of the tunnels run for miles under L.A. today running into block walls or buildings.

 

Gee where are the ads for Nitto and Toyo? Lol




Flame suit on

 

so if i find me some old **** Korean magazine i might find me some hankook ads? lol
