Honestly ,no clue where I got the ad from & it's not dated. But Freddy is correct on the dating. wonder if the 1 star chief was the same ?
Now my original 5 cent four star "Prosperity chief" is in 1 shade brown on all areas.. luckily the woman I bought it from (in her 70's) painted over the original paint when she was a kid... in Copper ! ! but that saved all of the original. pain in the butt to take that off & save the rest.
but this ad would have you believe it should be blue. today they are repainted all kinds of fancy colors (mainly by high end dealers).
interesting ads for the Caille machines. nice you had a choice of colors back then. Most were like Henry Ford... " you can have these cars in any color you want ,as long as it"s Black". it kept the cost down.
