We've often seen car adverts with an exciting, adventurous, or high tech aircraft pictured in the the background, but what's the subliminal message conveyed by a pair of GS's playing leap frog and a tug boat ?

Answers on a poste-card please. 

 

Poste Card

Being a Dutch advert - subliminal suggestion that a Citroen can  do a bit of canal leaping and shave a few minutes off your journey?

Don't try this in a Citroen.

It's actually the same GS in 2 positions on one advert.

Even in my dreams I cannot imagine being so stylishly wealthy as to drive something like that ..in context of it being a 1936 motor vehicles.  Clearly I too was born on the wrong side of the tram lines.  As an appreciative onlooker - I'm very glad such things as Bugatti ever existed ..but it's as far from my reality as owning and frequently flying off in a Lear jet. 

I guess the Jaguar XJ220 was the last really stunning car of style that 'wow'd me  (most modern cars look like Chelsea tractors to me) ..and yet I see from wiki that its production period dates way back to 1992-94.  I really am a c.20th dinosaur.!   

But that Bugatti was is still extra-ordinary 87 years on. Wow !

Thanks for sharing this photo

If you can't stretch to the Bugatti try the positively proletarian Voisin C28 Aerosport -

I think you'd still need to stylish though...

I think Morgan were inspired by this in creating the Aero 8, but got it badly wrong with the cross eyed look.
