Vibrationless Beyond Comprehension

1927 Star Car Four Cylinder Ad from Beaverton ReviewThink about features used to advertise cars today: sensors, early warning systems, auto drive systems, airbags, miles per charge . . . now, look at this ad from 1927.

Published for Beaverton, Hillsboro and Forest Grove, this advertises the Star Car company’s improved four cylinder engine.

  1. Star Car was a British car manufacturer.
  2. It promises to cut down the vibration from a 4 cylinder engine by insulating the motor mount with rubber. (!)
  3. Starting at $550! Gotta love inflation.
  4. Even at that price, it struggled to compete with the lower prices of mass-produced vehicles like those of Ford.

The Beaverton Review Beaverton, OR March 11, 1927.
