Here is a great old print advertisement for a big, circa 1946 Buick with a straight-eight engine. I'd step on it too if I was being chased by a big flying red fireball !

yeh me too Mike, wonder what the connection is with the fireball? Great add and car!

I think the big Buick straight-eight "Fireball" motor was the likely tie-in. But, in any case, I would want some serious power to get away from that red comet flying through the air chasing me !

GREAT ad. And, yes, of course the connection is the Buick engine:

Nice ! In this case, "Wouldn't You Really Rather Have A Buick ?"

Love this! Wouldn't that make a great 1/43, in that exact color combo? 🥰

It was a cool original 1946 ad and a very nice Buick ! It would make a superb replica in any medium and in any scale, in my view.
