"New" American Dream

       It is hard to believe that such a small nondescript automobile could revolutionize an entire car industry. The little MG came to be coveted by many U.S. soldiers returning from WWII. They were familiar with seeing this car race around Europe's winding roads. Now, MG was in position to capitalize on this new American market. However, they were not prepared for such an immense outburst in popularity. The MG car with its sleek styling, quick response, and fast engine captured the hearts of America. This was a sports car priced to inspire the hopes of a reachable dream. America was officially in love with the "sports car".
       The MG "TD", now modernized for the American marketplace was outfitted with: left hand drive, safety fast engineering, and an overall smoother ride. In turn, this allowed the TD to out-perform its predecessors in all aspects. MG had found a home in the new American dream of owning things for pleasure. There was the toaster and there was the TV, but there was nothing like a sports car, and that was MG.

This is an advertisement promoting the MG TD, and glorifying its new features:
