I'm much obliged to Jens Hoffman at Continental Tyres in Germany for sending me these classic 'Conti' tyre ads from his powerpoint presentation I sat through this morning. These thre are from the 60s...
And for a quick pie...what are the trucks featured in the three ads? And take a look at those tread patterns...are things that different in 2009?
That's one tough-looking off-road tyre. Now click through here for more..
Here's a classic Mud + Snow tyre from the 50s....
And finally from the '30s...thanks Jens!
Top truck next to the Conti 85B is a Magirus Deutz - don't know model. Ditto for the "Titan"
Look at the R87 tread pattern -- dead ringer for Bandag stick-on remould stock, I reckon.
the R90 add: a Magirius Deutz type unknown
the R87 add: a Henschel HS 165 truck and a Henschel HS 160 bus, nice picture :)
the Titan add: a Magirius Deutz type unknown
Hi BLB; a good challange - what were the Magirus Deutz models with the Ulm cathedral air brushed out? My best bet is the top one is a Saturn, the lower (tipper) is a Mercur AK (All Wheel Drive).
