Hi John,
According to Google Lens, this Slogan was part of the 1955 Pontic Star Chief advertising.
Slogan:”Spread Your Legs! Enjoy maximum leg-room in the new Pontiac Star Chief”.
Context: The Star Chief was Pontiac’s top-tier model, known for its spaciousness and performance.

I believe the "Spread Your Legs" slogan would be in bad taste in the '50's and probably wouldn't get past the censors.

I certainly DO remember the last three. Scary even in the fifties if you had common sense. And again, even in the fifties, the phrase would have been "Stretch Your Legs" if text were actually used.
The times - they are sure a-changin'!!

You would be correct; there's thousands of fake auto-ads "floating" around, the most famous (infamous? ) is this one:

"...so much is not real these days. I don’t like being fooled."
One REALLY has to be on their toes.
Keen eyes can usually spot graphic/image errors, but man-0-man, it's becoming more difficult by the minute! As you may know, a few of us, recently, had fun generating 100% fake models using Google GEMINI. Some of the better results could easily fool the novice collector or casual observer.
