Does anyone else sort of feel a connection to Dr. Porsche, like he's some sort of step Grandfather or something?
That's a great ad, one of many great Porsche commercial spots and print ads from the 1980s. They weren't afraid of setting the bar really high for themselves and everyone else, and not being apologetic about it at all..... |
