I had a 1964 Gran Turismo Hawk that was sold new by that dealership.
As for the smoking part, I recommend you get a pack of Lark candy cigarettes. Careful, they may be addictive!
(Today it seems almost unreal that candy cigarettes were a thing when I was a child. What a screwed-up world we grew up in!)

Not as screwed up as the one my kids are growing up in!

So, driving a Lark you can Drink and Smoke? AND be miserable! I don't think so!
WHAT are they trying to say?

I think they are telling us to drive fast and take chances!

Can’t quite put my finger on it, but I’m pretty sure that character was drawn by an illustrator of note & had a bit of a following in the 1960’s?

I always loved the tractor tire ashtrays at the farm machinery dealer parts counter when I would tag along with my Dad as a kid. I think the bottom of those had advertising on it but never seen due to the depth of the ash/butts !!

Smoking accessories where ubiquitous. A while back on another forum, someone posted a still from a old 60s James Bond movie where in the back ground one could see a ashtray and complimentary hotel match books on the dresser. I first traveled for work and stayed in hotels in the mid 1990s and such things were no longer present.

I have one of those Tractor tire ash trays ! Also have two different car tire ones. They were on the counter of every auto part and tire store when I grew up.
